Hi welcome to health care Magic....
You are having severe hypothyroid as per history...
Here you have not provided for TSH level..
According to tsh level dose of eltroxin adjusted...
If still higher dose needed than 150 ug can be given.....
For full improvement TSH level should be kept below 5 mIU per ml....
With control of TSH in normal range gradually you will improve
Take care
Advise : Endocrinologist consultation for examination.
