I was on a 25 and felt as if I were dreaming with my eyes open. Which isn't to say that some of those other things might be a factor.
I believe I also read somewhere that it takes a little while for an increase in synthroid dosage to "kick in". Such has certainly been the case for me.
Keep us posted.
