Perhaps you could break the tablet and build up more gradually. Good luck.

What dose were you on and how long had you. Even in that dose?

That's blown my idea out of the water. I thought you maybe was putting it up too quickly as new to this! Sorry, nowhere near. So strange you are having problems increasing. Have you changed anything else? Only thing I can suggest at the moment is as miglet suggested try half the increase till you feel settled on it
