The dose of Eltroxin needed may change over time. Therefore, you should check your thyroid function again. (Serum T3, T4, TSH). Your physician may advise you to increase (or decrease) the doses of Eltroxin.
Afterwards, if you still have sleep problems, depression and headache, you should see a psychiatrist.
Hope this answer helps you.
