The question seems to contain a mistake in the order of magnitude for the increase. Eszopiclone doses are typically in the range of milligrams, not hundreds of milligrams. The correct answer, given the options and likely intended question, is 0.25 mg, which is a reasonable dose adjustment for a medication like eszopiclone.
