Struggling with fatigue after increasing levothyroxine dose

I've been on 75mg of levothyroxine for 10 days now was on 50mg before (3 years ish) the fatigue is so bad every morning I wake up exhausted whether I have had 7hrs or even 9/10hrs sleep but also been suffering with insomnia too. how long does it take for a new dose to adjust levels? can't keep feeling like this :(

I’m on 225mg and I still feel awful, and have terrible symptoms. Been on Levothyroxin for 20 years. I never seem to feel any better though.
