Overmedicated, Need advise!

[debbier]

I have had Hashimotos/hypo thyroif for 15 years.  For the last 15 years I have had no issues execpt after my pregancies when I would have thyroiditis.   3 weeks ago I started feelin shakey, crazy anxiety and not able to sleep, went to dr and she checked my thyroid, my TSH was .09.  T3 and T4 were normal.  I am slightly anemic my bloodwork showed as well as B12 (212) and Vit D (26) levels were low. She told me to reduce my Levothyroxine from 175 mcg to 150mcg after I see the endo.  1 week ago I had some vertigo, the room started spinning it lasted a few seconds.   The last week I feel off,  slight dizziness on and off all day.  This week went to see Endo he concurred I was a textbook case of overmedication and recommended lowering dose to the 150mcg.  He told my anxiety, dizziness was being caused by hyperthyroid.  I am scared I feel like crap and I am frustrated that I am feeling this way for so long.   Should I see neuro for the dizziness or do I wait it out a bit longer?    Does the chaneg to hyper really make you feel this bad?

A related discussion, thyroid drug side effects was started.

This story is typical for over-replacement (which is common in the treatment of hypothyroidism) - you should feel better w/ the lower dose.

I also wanted to add, that I am also having issues with quick heart beats.  My dr also told me that stree/grieve (Lost my father 2 months ago)  may have alot to due with all the crazyness my body is going through right now.  I just felt my endo wrote me off quickly and want to make sure there is nothing else I should be checking.  I go back in 6 weeks for a recheck
