Thyroid gland vs. synthroid 150mcg?

I am 68,youthful and very active. I have been taking synthroid since I was 10. I had a radioactive uptake test at 15. I am currently taking synthroid 150mcg and feel tired. Thursday they drew a thyroid panel and the results were very low so my synthroid was decreased to 100mcg QD. Please explain how the thyroid gland responds to synthroid, I am confused.
