Your symptoms suggest that your hypothyroidism is not under control.The thyroid hormone is one of the basic mediators of basal metabolism.If your thyroxine is less you feel tired easily and feel your nerves being stretched.You should measure your TSH.If it is above 4 you should increase the dose of Eltroxin and measure your TSH every 6 weeks to adjust the dose of Eltroxin.Eltroxin should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach otherwise it will be absorbed only partially
