Hi.. it certainly sounds like you are completely off, thyroid-wise. Is there any way to ask your internist or regular doctor to check your TSH, T3 and T4 as soon as possible? He might be able to give you the readings, and you might be able to work with him to try to make things better. A month or two is so long to wait when you are obviously miserable and unwell. Do you take T4 along with the T3?
10 mcg is considered a substantial, pretty standard dose, but I do think you need medical help in making changes- you could possibly go down to 5mcg. while you are waiting to get this help, but you probably should not discontinue it, because you don't know what your thyroid is able to do on its own at this point.
