Why is synthroid not working for me?

My TSH level is 8.0 and it keeps rising even though my PCP increased my synthroid dosage.  I was taking 100 mcg and now I'm taking 125 mcg.  My T4 & T3 levels are both normal range.  What could be my issue?

There are several possibilities to discuss.  First please tell us about why you were diagnosed as hypothyroid and started medication.  Also please post your thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.  And most important, please tell us about any symptoms you have.
