Hi Karen!
I'm so sorry you're feeling this way! I know exactly what you're talking about. I had my Thyroid removed two years ago. From my experience, I have learned that everyone is different, and every TSH level of comfort is different.....Some feel fine at a 3, some feel awful and prefer to be at a 1. What about your T3 & T4 levels? where do they stand on the scale? You may need an up in the Synthroid?
Also, you are still new out of surgery(In my opinion). It can take time. I thought I'd be great after 6 weeks, but it wasnt until about 12 weeks after surgery my body sorted out. And I still battle the ups and downs with my Synthroid adjustments.
I also needed some changes to my Anti-Depressant.
I would call your Dr.
