I experienced the same thing. It went away, although I sometimes wake up a few hours early still. The difference now is that I can go back to sleep to finish the night off whereas at the beginning I was way too awake to even think of going back to sleep. I slept only 3-4 hours some nights in the first week. Now I'm back to 8-9 hours per night.
Changes in dosage should be done when most major side-effects have subsided at the lower dosage. Perhaps you're going too fast in increasing your dosage - you will likely have the same side effects again. If you still have them at the lower dose, I am not sure, but indeed, it may be worse.
Hope this helps.
