Hello, Marie! How are you?

Yes, you can do that, as long as your doctor approves. Some people do, because they may find that consistently taking the higher dose causes their blood sugar to fall too low.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence and stomach pain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
