If you are on meds and cannot get your hormone levels in the upper 1/3 of range without it suppressing your tsh to .00 , are you "overmedicated" or hyper?

On one hand some say to pay no attention to tsh if you are on meds....just get your "frees" in the mid to upper range. I tend to agree here but, now some are saying they have Graves with TSI antibodies with hormone levels in the lower 1/2 of range and low to normal TSH. This is hard to understand.

When I first started having my problems was when my doctor cut my meds way back because my "frees" were in the upper 1/3 of range and tsh was .4. I felt really good before he did this to me and then a few mo. later I needed a wheelchair!!

My thyroid doc looks back at these labs when I was feeling good and tells me I was always overmedicated. How can that be when my "frees" WERE NOT OVER THE RANGE.

Now I can't get them back up without feeling hyper. Is the hyper feeling from just being so undermedicated now or what. This is very confusing.
