I increased my dosage back at the same point as you, obviously the endocrinologist asked me if I wanted to.  I definitely said yes and I don't regret the decision at all.  The body changes are awesome, I love the calm and serenity I feel at this level....however emotions are right at the surface and I likely should have bought shares in the Kleenex company before hand (lots of crying).  It's a balance you need to find and be comfortable with....what benefits you seek versus what burdens you are willing to accept.  Some are harder on you and those around you. 

Good Luck!
