Hello,
Those doses are all in a reasonable range. It has a fairly wide safety margin and the side effects are annoying but not truly dangerous.
Generally they are from the brain being damped down: sedation, decreased concentration and mild sensoryl disturbances.
There's seeing shadows at night and then there is seeing shadow Monsters that are controlling one's thoughts. The second would NOT be a drug effect.
Changing medicines will be a problem if the doctor doesn't know you are doing it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
