Why do I feel even more ill after a small increase in NDT?

After receiving advice from here that my T3 was too low, I increased my NDT one quarter tablet to 3 grains. Since then my fibro is so much worse a!omg with the usual hypothyroid symptoms. And feelings of lightheadedness.

My latest blood test results when on 2 and three-quarters NDT were;

TSH. 0.02 (0.27-4.2)

T4. 14 (11-22)

T3. 3.1 ( 3.1-6.8)

Folate. 18.7.

Ferritin. 174. (30-260)

Vit D. 120 bill (≥ 50)

B12. 762 (197-771)

Please help I don't know where to go from here as my Dr is on my back saying I'm over medicated due to the low.TSH .

Thank you for any advice.
