Moving from 20-30mg has set off something bad in me

About 5-6 days back I moved to 30mg from 20mg. I had been taking 20mg for about 3 weeks. Near the end of that I was feeing quite good and noticed OCD thoughts decrease. However, this came with a definite increase in lethargy and depression.

After 5 days on 30mg I had a night last night that scared. I was at a level of depression I havent felt in a really long time. Then at night I was panicking about my OCD type thoughts. I kept picturing myself taking a very bad action (no desire to - just intrusive thoughts) and it was upsetting me very deeply. I took prescribed medicine to help calm me down for sleep. Very rough day.

Today I still feel down and have a type of tasmanian devil cloud running in my head. Its dark but highly activated. I am glad I feel at least a bit better than yesterday, but this is enough to want to get off the drug.

According to chatgpt this is a normal part of an increase in dose. Given the longer duration of onset, it would make sense that about 5 days on frmo the increase that I would feel this way. And it should be over within another week. If not, then maybe there is a problem.

I am looking for some reassurance here as my psychiatrist is against my reaching out to him in between sessions unless its an emergency. And I dont think this qualifies as one.
