My inositol contains vitamin d3 and folic acid .
Is it fine to increase that too?
I would like to know the side effects of increased inositol dosage so that I can know my limit too and stop increasing the dosage?

There is no known safe upper limit for Inositol itself. Studies have gone as high as around 18g per day without any recorded side effects of note (some people do find it makes them tired shortly after taking it, but that's the extent of it, and once you reach the point that it does that, it's not dose-dependent). I've personally been taking 12g for around a year with no issue. For PCOS, there isn't usually much of a need to go that high, though. That's the studied therapeutic dose for neurological disorders. 4g is the typical amount used in the PCOS studies, and most women respond at that level.

I would consider making up the difference between the higher dose and what your current sachets do with a plain bulk Inositol, though. As mentioned, D3 does have an upper limit for toxicity, since it's fat soluble (folic acid doesn't, though; it's water soluble). Even so, at the higher dose of Inositol, you'll probably be wasting your money on the combined one as you exceed the amount of folic acid you need, so getting the bulk plain inositol will probably save you money.

B12 deficiency can lead to neuropathy. Metformin, hormonal medication, and many others can interfere with its absorption. I have a "nerve spot" in the joint of my left thumb from this... If you do supplement B12, you can use it separately, but if you do a separate B12, make sure you get a Super B-Complex, too, because B12 alone will cause the other B vitamins to deplete...

Both Cinnamon and Chromium help with insulin resistance. I'm not sure of the Cinnamon dose, my stomach won't tolerate it. The Chromium I started with 500mCg twice daily and increased to 1000mCg twice daily after a month. It does wonders on appetite control for me as well.
