For medication, kindly talk to the doctor for changing the dose. For insomnia kindly try and fine the root cause with the help of either online consultation or seeing a therapist that could be negative thoughts or disturbances in your surroundings as it will help you better way.

Please use medicines carefully under doctors supervision. Discuss with your doctor, who prescribed it. Whether to increase dose or not will be decided by your existing doctor.
