Regular blood tests are the only way to ensure you get enough thryroxin in your system remember it will take time to work I know I have Grave's Decease and take it thyroid medication every day like you do also my thyroid would not settle and I had to have its funtion ceased now my levels have to be checked regular I feel a little like you at the moment tired and memory loss which I know is very frustrating go to your doctor and have a test this will soon be put to rights good luck and feel better soon

Morning blood tests will show if you are on enough medication. Keep in mind that some doctors will keep you in the high end of normal and for most symptoms will not be relieved. With T4, most feel best with a morning TSH around 1.0. If symptoms are still present at a 1.0, then perhaps a T4/T3 medication like Armour or Thyrolar may help.
