I'm with everyone else.  It's not a good idea to self medicate and you are taking way too much med.  Going from 50 mcg to 200 mcg was too big a jump.  You will make yourself very sick if you don't cut back.  Also if you cut back, your anxiety will begin easing up.  

You need to see your doctor and be retested for TSH, Free T4 and Free T3 at the very least.

I agree with the other posts. I was on a thyroid medication and it caused anxiety so I had to stop taking it and now and feeling much better.

I agree with Rehead.
Go back to your Doctor.....you are on too much T4 med.
All the antidepressants in China wont help with the anxiety if you are self dosing and taking too much thyroid meds.
Your Doctor will reduce your dose of thyroid meds and after a week or so the anxiety will start to ease up.
You will just get very sick and if your levels are too high, it can be very dangerous if you dont get yr thyroid levels checked.

Hi there. The amount you are self medicating is making you  more than likely Hyperthyroid. It is too much! You need to drop down to probably 100mcgs. It would be good to go get a blood test. TSH, Free T3 and Free T4.
  It is not good to change your dose without doctors consent. Please go see the doctor and get your blood levels checked.
  Diets will not change your anxiety and thyroid problems.
It can do damage to your body if you do not get some help.
