Why are you taking carbimazole? Have you had your FT3 measured? A low TSH and low FT4 could, possibly, indicate secondary hypothyroidism, ie you are hypo not hyper.

You're basically going hypo on the Carbi, you're over medicated. You need to keep dropping the dose until T4 recovers and then stay on a maintenance dose. Different people will feel well at different T4 levels, I needed to be above 16, which was roughly mid range.
