I have been on Eltroxin 50ug for 2 years - now increased to 100ug and I have noticed severe hair loss. Is this a result of increased dosage?

I use eltroxin 0.1mg every day for two years now and could not understand why I am always tired although I had a good night's sleep. I also became aware that I am very tempered, depressed and can do impulsive things. like buying a bike as example. Recently, almost a month ago I had to visit my GP for a common flu. I also asked him to run a blood test on my thyroid hormones. It became apparent that I have been taking 0.05mg less than what I should have.
Could all my negative experience be because of this? I only started to take the higher doses since today, I am hoping on a better outcome.

Man, I really messed myself up, I guess. I have been taking the 1.50 for a few years now. I am now 55, ...and lately, for the last twenty days or so, I started having daily, all day long palpitations. So I walk four miles a day, or whenever they start up..but the first thing I thought, was it was time to lower my thyroid..so I broke them in half..BIG MISTAKE...caused my heart to go faster, leg cramps. cold feet, then hot feet, hands, etc....so when I put it back after one week, I started feeling a little better..but still have the heart palpitations...so I figure time to buy some insurance and get it all in order...WOW...how terrifying...
