Philippa, you need to educate yourself on thyroid treatment as much as you can. If your mental health problem started with low thyroid function, then I think this is were you should direct your attention.
Learn about
Reverse T3 dominance
Adrenal fatigue
Low ferritin(common in hypothyroidism, meds won't work with too low ferritin).
Blood tests(they are not also reliable to measures of thyroid function. One can have completely suppressed TSH and still be hypothyroid).However most informed patients and doctors would still agree that your TSH at 2.5 is too high. It's need to get under 1 at least and your Free T3 needs to be on top of the range.
