Most likely high TSH level is due to neomercazole use.She may be asked to stop neomercazole and resume thyroxin with dose adjustment, preferably by an endocrinologist

You should stop Neomercazole and come back to Thyronorm 50 mcg. She is hypothyroid as per the present report. So there is no point in wasting time.
