If the adrenal output of cortisol is adequate I would suspect a high
insulin level. By the very nature of cortisol purpose in the
fight-or-flight mechanism -- it cuts insulin release and increases that
of Glucagon which is responsible for releasing the stored energy from
inside the cells into the bloodstream. You might be adequately
supplemented at 150 mcg of thyroxine, but that doesn't mean that a high
insulin level and insulin resistance is not present. It could be that at
200 mcgs your body is provoked into hypoglycemia due to the insulin.
Otherwise, your symptoms are explainable by the dosage.
Hope this opinion helps.
