Will going back to 25mg decrease muscle tension?

As the title says, will lowering the dose help? Because I didn't have that much tension in my jaws and necks the first two weeks when I was on 25mg. Since on 50 (3 weeks now) I clench my Jaws and tense my neck and shoulder muscles a lot unconciously, which, I notice, also influences the tension in my pelvic floor.

And the cause of my anxiety is my pelvic floor, of which I clench the muscles when anxious, so that isn't helping. I did quite well after a week on 25mg: more calm, less pelvic muscle cramping etc, which worsened again after switching to 50mg.

So could it be that 25mg is the right dose for me and that 50 is too much?
