Brief Answer:
Increase in dose does not help

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
I have gone through your query.

First of all, never alter the dosage of any medication without consultation.
Here increasing the dose will not be of much help, as many clinical trails have shown that dose above .75, does not provides additional benefit.

So I would suggest you to see consulting doctor for further help.
I'll be glad answer your further queries.
Take care.
