Default Thyroid (medicated) - tough it out or see doc?

Hey everyone. I have been on thyroid medication for 3.5 years. I have had several increases and am now on Synthroid, 75mcg.

I restarted LC (20g/day) about a week ago. I had two really tired days, but I figured those were induction flu. Then I had two days in a row where I was energetic, so I thought I was over the hump.

But now the past two days, I'm sleeping and sleeping. I also have a bad short-term memory (always a thyroid symptom for me) and weak legs (also a symptom).

I know LCing can cause thyroid downregulation in the beginning but that this eventually passes. I haven't paid attention to things in that context so I don't recall how I react. Should I tough it out and wait to feel better? Or is this a bad sign and should I see my doctor now? (It's no problem to go see my doc, I just don't want to have tests now if things are fluctuating because of induction or something.)

Thanks for any help.
