Some of the symptoms do overlap.  However, it's much more likely to be the 
other way around.  Reasons you may not be getting better on Synthroid could be -

The dosage is wrong.  Too low a dosage can actually exacerbate the symptoms.

Treating a thyroid problem with concurrent low adrenals can do the same.

Not everyone gets better on Synthroid.  Synthroid is T4 only.  Some need 
Armour Thyroid, a T4/T3 product derived from pork, or T3.  T4 must turn into 
active T3 to be helpful, some people do not covert T4 to T3 well.
