What you are describing sounds a bit like tolerance withdrawal. Please google benzodiazepine tolerance withdrawl symptoms. You might find a link to a publication called the Ashton Manuel, if so click on it. The AM does a pretty good job of explaining things. Bottom line is you need to get with your dr or psychiatrist and talk about what’s going on. If you are in a place in your life where you can consider tapering off the benzos safely and slowly then I would if I were you. You might find that you feel way better off the benzo than on it. I don’t know the reason you are on it, but taking a higher dose may only help for awhile, then you may have symptoms again. Go online and really do some research, but go talk to your dr for sure. Read the Ashton Manuel...
FYI: if your pill is generic and has recently been changed to a different brand of generic that too can cause symptoms such as you describe, generics do vary as to manufacture. I have only recently learned that lesson.
Hope this helps!
Best wishes
