can you post your ranges that will appear to the right of each reading on the lab test since according to the lab, the ranges are different.....does your doctor test free t3, free t4 and tsh.
what time of day are you taking your test...are you taking it first thing in the morning. are you taking your medication without food or coffee or caffeine for at least 30 min to a hour, are you waiting 4 hours to take any supplements or vitamins and avoiding calcium for 4 hours which all can cause your medication not to absorb....

Sounds like you are taking too much medication. Do you have your thyroid labs results? Myxedema coma is rare. If you are interested, I posted a lot of info about myxedema coma on another answer...
