Hello and welcome to HCM!
I read carefully your situation and i think you didn't understand right your diagnose. Since you are taking thyrofit it means that your diagnose is hypothyroidism ( the contrary of hyperthyroidism). May be the high value of TSH made you believe that you have hyperthyroidism but it is the contrary, because TSH is the hormone produced by the hypofise gland to stimulate the thyroid when it doesn't produce enough hormones.
TSH 14.4 is a bit high and it means that it needs hormonal replacement to get lowered. You didn't mention your weight, but if you were a patient in my clinic i would start the treatment with 0.7 mcg/kg, and than after 6 weeks check the TSH again. If it is Hope i gave you the information you needed.
Best regards,
Dr.M.Guni
