Are you okay now?  My husband had (yes HAD; doctor was not knowledgeable in thyroid disorders) and had him take two 150 mcg synthroid within 12 hours - because he was "so low" on his thyroid hormone.  Well, raising so fast sent him into a thyroid storm.  Not fun.  Horrific.  He is now switched to NDT and raising levels very, very slowly.  It's a long journey, but I believe worth it in the long run.  We are about half way there.  Hope you are doing better now.
