It takes 4-6 weeks for the thyroid med to reach full potential in your system, and it's not unusual for symptoms to worsen when first starting on med.

Were there other labs done, besides TSH?  Free T3 and/or Free T4? If so, please post them, along with reference ranges, which vary lab to lab, so must come from your own report.

The voice change will be from the hypothryoid, not the meds.   Even at TSH 8, my voice was gravelly and hoarse, and my thyroid felt a little swollen.    The meds will cut in soon and help.
