Dear Rinu

If diagnosis is correct and you are experiencing side effect with current medication then it is better to consult doctor ( i don't know whether he is psychiatrist) and ask to change medication as you may require higher doses for control of medication and now many medication are available for this condition which causes less side effect with better control of symptoms.
If you want to continue this medication better to start with half dose then increase gradually ( weekly increase of half tablet).
