You need to stop your medicine now. Get a repeat test done after 6 weeks. Also get anti TPO antibody test done. You are currently in hyperthyroid phase, could be medicine induced. Just stop the medicine and should largely get better. Final need of any med shall be decided after repeating TFT in 6 weeks
