This link lists 26 typical symptoms from hypothyroidism.  Which ones do you seem to have?

http://endocrine-system.emedtv.com/hypothyroidism/hypothyroidism-symptoms-and-signs.html

As for symptom relief, that tends to lag behind changes in blood levels of thyroid hormones, and is also dependent on severity and length of time you have been suffering with hypo symptoms.   It also depends somewhat on the current levels of your biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4 (not the same as Total T3 and T4), and what amount of thyroid med will ultimately be required to increase your Free T3 level enough to relieve symptoms.  And of course you cannot just start with a large dose of thyroid med.  You have to start with a small dose and increase in small increments about every 6 weeks, until you achieve symptom relief.  

Sorry I cannot give you a more definite answer, but it will take a while.  For best results, people with hypothyroidism have to make med changes  slowly and be very patient.

Did you also get tested for Free T3, Free T4 and TSH?  If so, please post those results, along with reference ranges.

Your B12 is way too low in the range, so you should supplement that in order to get into the upper part of its range.  Also, your Vitamin D needs to be supplemented to get it up to the middle of its range.  

What is your thyroixin dosage and when did you start taking it?
