If you can handle it, I'd let things settle out for a few days. It gets tougher and tougher to communicate with the doctors and their offices if we try to manage these issues on a short term basis. Yes it does take some time to build up the levels... how does your new dose compare to your old dose in terms of total/day. You need to remember that the total is spread out over a longer period for the extended release meds, depending on how you take them and how you took the IR meds. Obviously, if you are concerned... call the doc.
