Get new blood tests, and base you new dosage on the new tests. The tests you need are free T3 and free T4. You need to stop relying on TSH. It is an indirect, second hand way to GUESS at what your thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) levels are. TSH isn't a thyroid hormone, and it doesn't cause or control your symptoms.

Basically you want to shoot for a morning TSH of around 1.0 on Synthroid. The only thing I can think of is time of testing. TSH is highest while we sleep, so you always want to test first thing in the morning. Your symptoms could be perimenopausal if you are close to your 40's. Get a free t4 and free t3 the next time you test. These show the actual amounts of these hormones available for the body to use. The free t4 and free t3 are much better tests than the TSH. The TSH is the standard test, probably because it is much cheaper. Sounds like you are on too high a dosage. Basically you want to shoot for a morning TSH of around 1.0 on Synthroid.
