hi male34,
sounds to me like your intuition's right.
when i increased from 5mg to 10mg, i went through practically all of my initial SEs again, but for me they weren't sever nor did they last long (a week), but it was a recreation of starting lex ...
considering your demonstrable sensitivity, you might want to consider changing your doseage very SLOWLY ... very very slowly.
hope you are feeling better.
TAKE CARE !!!
