Dosage increase trial

I'm having times during the day where I'm feeling more 'off' than I want. I tried upping my dosage to 2 pills 5 times per day. Turned out that was even worse - dyskinesia hit pretty hard, even to the point of being painful. I'm back down to the 9 pills per day, alternating 2 and 1.5 pills.
I still only take 6 pills on the weekend, but that's not working so well anymore. Today I took two pills at 7am, then not again until noon. The noon dose took forever to kick in (about 1.5 hours), then didn't last very long, and moved into dyskinesia.
Seems I may need to keep a certain level going instead of letting myself get too far 'off'.
