Continue the medication. The weakness and fatigue is due to the hypothyroidism, though thyroid supplement improves most symptoms but weakness and fatigue may persists for longer time and may not completely recover to 100%. So even on the medication you will feel some weakness and fatigue.
Next Steps
Follow up with your treating physician, I think the dose should be increased, it is not adequate for you.
