Symptoms like this might stir up for a few weeks, Kelly, but I'd give it a few weeks to see what happens.

When I happened to try to move up the first time, in late Sept (3.0 mg to 4.5 mg), I couldn't do it because of the recent change in weather. I waited about a month and tried again, with no problem.

I've also mentioned that I have to drop down from 4.5mg to about 3.75mg at this time of year, EVERY year, because the weather starts to turn colder and my spasticity acts up anyway. I haven't dropped down yet, but will probably have to in the next few weeks. Once my body adapts to cold, I can go back up.

I'm thinking this is likely just transient, and one of the initial side-effects. If it's not too bad, then I'd suggest to keep plugging away at 3.0mg to see if it levels off. If it doesn't, you could drop down for a few weeks, wait till you've adapted to the weather, and try again.
