When you say 'hyper' do you mean by symptoms or by blood test results?

Have you tried taking slightly less? You don't say what dose you are on but some people take 25mcg less on alternate days. Within a week or two you should be able to tell the difference. If there's no difference, or you are worse, then there could be another cause for the shaky, jittery symptoms. What is your pulse and temperature perception like?
