Weakness: First you need TSH be checked by lab, to see if it is in therapeutic range. You are taking very small dose of synthroid (thyroxine). May be the synthroid (thyroxine) dose need adjustment. You are also using atenolol , please check your blood pressure and pulse. If they are low, you will feel weak. Also check CBC for anemia. Wish you good health.

Have your levels: Checked, you may need an increase in the dose. 25 mcg is a very low dose.
