the more I kept reading the more it didn't make sense......

From what you have posted, you may be a little over stimulated, labs look "hyper" thyroid.
Your free T3 is too high, TSH is too low. Some people feel good and fine with these numbers. This may cause you to feel confused and not think clearly.
You could ask your doctor to very slightly decrease your thyroid dose. And recheck your labs in 4-6wks.
It would take a few weeks to get adjusted to the new dose. If you feel worse on the lower dose, then ask to go back to your original dose. If you feel better then you know that you made the right choice.

What is the range for the Free T4?
Did you have thyroid antibodies tested also?
Do you have any symptoms of hyperthyroidism?

You should go by your symptoms then. Your numbers are identical to mine, but i don't feel hyper...so I keep my dose steady.

If you are having hyper symptoms, you need to contact your doctor and decrease your dose. You don't want to do too much too fast.
I recommend getting the thyroid antibodies tested. If positive, this indicates Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Some people who have Hashimoto's have other results in the normal range, but treatment is still warranted.
