Your reaction to increasing the dosage isn't a very common one. I can take 2 pills (88 mcg) & not notice anything different. Not that I do take 2, but forgetting a dose or taking extra, I'd never notice anything different. It needs to be a few days of change before anything registers for me.
I do have a friend though whose thyroid acted strangely. Her TSH levels would vary each time it was taken & she could tell each day how her gland was functioning by how she felt. She couldn't take Synthroid at all as one day the dose would be right & the next day too much.
Would switching to another form of thyroxine medication help at all? Your case sounds a lot like hers with the very unpleasant feelings you get from an increase. Sounds like you might need to see an endocrinologist again for another thorough check up of your thyroid.
