Tratament: Synthroid 50 mcg Oct- Nov and 37.5 mcg Nov-Dec. My doctor took me off Synthroid today.
My doctor believe that the increase in FT4 cannot be from Synthroid alone. I have a recent arrithmia(now and then ) ,cold hands,constipation,trouble to fall asleep.
Yes, if your December numbers are correct, you are severely hyperthyroid.
Therefore you must have a severely over-active thyroid and if your doctor is not going to treat you for that, then he should refer you to an endocrinologist as soon as possible to deal with it.
Your Reverse T3 is also likely to be severely high, and may be having an impact on your symptoms.
Strongly suggest you read "Hashimotos – The Autoimmune Thyroid Attack"

Thank you for your response.
When I said doctor I meant an endocrinologist(sorry for the confusion).
I wonder what is the cause for going from hypo to hyper all of a sudden.
Thank you
Is it good or bad to take Selenium in my circumstances?
I read that Selenium supports the conversion of T4 into T3(that makes it unsuitable for hyperthyroidism) but on the other hand I heard that it regulates the thyroid function (which makes it suitable for any thyroid problem). Which is which?
Thank you
