Hi, Abizmum!
Side effects generally resolve after a few weeks but they can sometimes recur after a dosage increase. You're doubling your dose and your metabolism may have to adjust.
Has your loss of appetite persisted for the full 8 weeks? If so, you should report it to your doctor for professional advice.
