See your doctor: It is best to see your doctor or at least talk to your doctor on the phone about this dose change. The main reasons for doing this are so that your doctor can evaluate whether the change is prudent with regards to your treatment plan, evaluate any interactions with other medications, and check on progress and side effects.
