Question Increasing my dosage-how?

So I've been on 500mg of Met for about 10 days now (with dinner) and I am going to be increasing my dosage to 1000mg in the next day or two.

From what I have read, I should introduce my second dose with my breakfast. So I would be taking 1 dose with breakfast and the second with my dinner as usual. I just want to confirm this with you ladies.

Also I have experienced minimal s/e so far. Should I expect more when I up the dosage and start taking it with a much lighter meal (breakfast)?

Thanks in advance!
