Suppressed TSH: Depending on the cause of your hypothyroidism, like thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer, it may be beneficial to have a suppressed tsh. Otherwise, it is not typical to suppress a tsh. You should discuss your concern with your doctor.

Not enough informati: We do not have enough information to answer your question.You say your TSH is 0.1, which is low.Normal being 0.5 to4.5/5.00.We do not know your how much thyroid med you are taking and for what.Your TSH is outside the range and may be suppressed by the dose of synthroid (thyroxine).It needs to be lowered.So discuss with your treating physician/endocrinologist about it.We don't know t4, t3 etc.
