Firstly im really sorry for being a complete Nuisance and hog of the site I think I just need your words of encouragement again !!!
Im only 7 days on new dose but the Insomnia has worsened I wake up after 3 hours every night and cant go back to sleep
I suppose what I want to.know is this normal and does it pass
Forever grateful Karen X

Increases will bring on side effects, 7 days is too early to tell. Try taking it earlier and have a look at some guided meditation to put on when youre going to sleep. I use the calm apps sleep stories (need to subscribe)
