levoxyl not working

Hi,
Seems after 20+years of being on levoxyl,it has quit working,my tsh is 15 after bumping up my dose from 100 to 112.I feel terrible,having anxiety problems,chest discomfort,heart is pounding and my arms ache.the endo I see is really good and is switching me to armour.Why am I not converting the t4 to t3 anymore?And is this the best thyroid pill to switch to?

I have to get my numbers,but the tsh is 15 and the t3 is 2.1,low.and I think the t4 was ok.This was the 3rd blood test taken in the last 3 months and the tsh is getting higher,even tho I bumped the levoxyl up from 100 to 112,so I'm not converting it and my body is starving for t3.I can feel it too,I'm unwell,so I am starting armour this am.I will let u know how it goes.Thank you.
