There's not a lot I can say without seeing some labs.  The symptoms you mention can be caused by both under- and over-medication.  Please post your numbers.

That's a fairly substantial increase.  Increases are usually limited to a maximum of 25 mcg per increase, with retesting in 4-6 weeks, followed by another increase if necessary.

Do you have recent thyroid labs to post?  If so, please do and include reference ranges (they vary lab to lab so have to come from your own report).

Do you still have symptoms?
