I guess you haven't yet talked to your endo?  

What was your actual B12 level?  Please post it, with reference range.  I know you said it was "normal", but your tiredness sounds more like a B12 deficiency, than a thyroid issue. As gimel pointed out, earlier, "normal" isn't good enough.

You're stopping/starting your meds/dosages so often, I can't keep up with you.  You have to stay on them in order to give your body time to get used to them...

Thank you Barb & Gimmel for your help & responses

I didn't stop the snythroid.  That recomendation didn't make sense.  I did take 1/2 of .112mg today,because I want sleep so badly.I did not sleep.
I am going on the .100,even though I would prefer.3/4of .112 or around 80mcg.
I agree that 88 mcg would be better,or 75mcg
The endoo office worker,Rachel & the endo would only give 100mg.
I usually sleep only1in3 nights for 4hrs.
Going to pcp for sleeping pill
I took 3/4 of .112mg because that's what I want my endo to prescribe.Took this for 3nights.
Think 88 mcg might be best dosage to stay on. Now to make my endo give me 88mcg.

If you have to stop taking your thyroid med in order to sleep, there's something very wrong with your treatment.  Starting and stopping the pills, along with constantly changing the amount you take each day is going to put you on a roller coaster that will be very hard to get off from.
