Feel better when overmedicated?

I was 1st diagnosed with being hypothyroid when I was 16 years old.. I'm now 36 and continue to struggle with dosages for my hypothyroidism. For the past 20 years I have come to realize that I actually feel so much better when I'm slightly hyperthyroid due to overmedication than I feel when I'm within the "normal range". However, the problem with this is that most doctors will not allow you to be slightly hyperthyroid even though you feel great, no fatigue, you have no hair falling out, your weight is manageable, your mood is awesome, and your anxiety is minimal. Is there anyone else out there that feels the same way as I do and if so how did you manage to feel better even though you're within the "normal range"?
