Answer 1

tell your doctor, it could be the dosage

Answer 2

75mg might be too much for you. talk to the doctor asap!!

Answer 3

That's a big jump in dosage.  The same thing happened to a friend of mine.  He talked to his Dr. and they decided to drop the dosage down to the previous level.  I don't know why Dr's always try to push things so fast (If it was their own body I bet you they would take things a bit slower).  Remember, it's all about YOU and how YOU feel don't be afraid to tell your doctor.  You may be able to increase the dose in smaller increments so you won't have those nasty side effects.

Answer 4

Suggest you contact your Doctor for his expert medical opinion.

Doubling the dose seems extreem!
