Increasing Mirtazapine not going well

I increased my Mirtazapine dose on psychiatrist's advice from 15 to 30mg. I've taken the new dose for the last four nights and am not feeling great.

I feel very nauseous, particularly in the mornings (no I'm not pregnant!)
The grogginess, which I used to feel first thing on 15mg, is lasting all day on this new dose.
My stools are very loose first thing in the morning and improve as the day progresses.
I feel very mildly achy all over.

Pretty sure it is the meds, and not a virus, because I don't have any swollen glands/yuckiness etc.

Has anybody felt similar when increasing their dose? Did it improve as you got used to the higher dose?

I feel I should add that I'm also on 75mg venlafaxine, which I take every morning - the dose for this has not changed.
