Quick response to meds..?

About 2 hrs.after taking 5 mg of Tapazole (perscribed twice a day) I find I literally drag myself about with no motivation to do anything and this can last for about 3 hours.  Is this because the drug takes this long to become effective?After 2 months on the drug, my levels now seem to be in the normal range...here are my latest labs - before and after starting the meds.
Also wondering if the change in TSH level happened too quickly?

March: TSH ..1.63 .... T3..3.7...T4..12.3 (PTH - not tested for but was 3.2 in Sept.)

Prior to meds. Dec labs were: TSH .0.03 .. T3.. 5.2.. T4..17.2 (PTH 5.5)

Thankyou.

Could you repost your latest labs and include the reference ranges that were provided with them. You might get a better response by reposting with "Help with Lab Results" and inlude any questions you may have about medication. The reference ranges are needed for members to see where you are in relation to your blood work Regards FTB4
