What Causes Excess Tiredness After Regular Intake Of Levothyroxine?

there was a lot going on for me over the last month, and i didn t take my 112 mcg daily of levothyroxine for about two weeks. I felt fine during that time... I started taking it again regularly and after about a week, I began to feel very sluggish. I know that levothyroxine is a medication that builds up in the system and has a long half life and stuff... so is it possible that this sudden constant exhaustion is because I of the time i missed taking my medication, even tho I am taking my medication now?
