I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time adjusting to this medication. In which case you should see your doctor again and discuss a possible switch to something else with less side effects for you. Upping the dose while you are still experencing so many nasty side effects simply does seem like "good medicine" to me, but I am not a doctor and it's not my place to second guess him, but I would certainly be asking some serious quesitons while I was there.  
Let us know how you're doing, OK? We are always here.

Any antidepressant can make you feel pretty "off" for quite a while after starting. It's one of the biggest reasons people quit. Recomendations usually are to wait at least 6 weeks before trying something new, so gut it out if you can. And DO NOT quit cold turkey... if it isn't working, go see your doc before deciding to quit.
