Hi John,
Sorry to hear you've been having a hard time.
I'd stick with the 30mg if I were you. Some people find the official recommended doses of psychiatric drugs too high and experience side effects. Once you've taken 30mg for a short while you can increase the dose under the guidance of your doctor. Starting with a higher dose would be expected to cause more side effects and so it could make you feel worse. Once you're sure that you can tolerate the 30mg dose without problems you can increase the dose. If you're not having any side effects at all you could probably increase the dose in a few days. Perhaps you could call your doctor in a few days time to discuss the dose again.All the best...
Ed
