Hi Tick41 -
First, to answer your question - yes, those sx sound very much like your body trying to get rid of toxins.
It could have something to do with increasing dose because you're increasing the body's ability to detox more. So you're excreting more.
Also, just to clarify, it sounds like you're talking about the two primary MTHFR gene functions (a128c and c677t) but there are MANY more related to MTHFR, detoxing, etc. So you should probably indicate that those are the two that you're referencing.
Heterozygous mutation generally means you have a 30% reduction in normal function of the gene, whereas homozygous generally indicates a 60% reduction... give-or-take. So you have a very common level of dysfunction.
What is also important is the dysfunction of many other genes and combinations you might have but that is a very deep rabbit hole. Hopefully, you'll continue to get results from basic supplementation - many people do. If you hit a wall, continue reading and learning and trying.
