Hi Riss,
I am in the process of upping the dose of my medication too.So far it has been far easier than it was in the first few weeks starting the medication. I have read though, that what you experiencing can happen when increasing your dose. Under my GP's guidance I am only increasing by half a tablet for a start. And I have only done this for 2 days so far.
I hope the side effects wear off for you soon!

Hi there
Thank you for your reply. I to started by half and it was not till I got to full strength that I experienced side effects. I have spoken to a chemist who has said what I'm experiencing is very normal and is common.
I wish you all the best
Riss
