If you feel your dr isn't serving you right, then perhaps change? It's very hard to find a dr who's well informed on thyroid problems. If you feel the way you do, there is a reason for it. Some ppl will have severe symptoms and hardly any problem with TSH, and vice versa. With thyroid disease the whole person needs to be catered for, not just blood results. In my personal unprofessional opinion 6mths might be like a prison sentence for you. Ask for a full blood work-up including vit d, b12, ferritine levels and TPO, T4 and T3.
