I had my thyroid removed after papillary thyroid cancer that spread to a lymph node. My doctors want me slightly hyperthyroid, but with a TSH only around 0.1 - 0.3.
They started me at 100 mcg of synthroid and I did not begin to feel good until my dose was at 200 mcg. I am not sure you are at your proper dose yet, until I was, my mind was cloudy and I was extremely tired. I didn’t gain weight, but I lost my appetite while I was under medicated. I lost 10 lbs once I was at the right level but I regained that later.
I have never returned to 100%, but I am able to work, more tired than normal, and more on edge, but my mind is back.
It may take a while before you get to your proper dose, but I am skeptical about how you will feel with a TSH that low.
