IMHO, the best reply in the thread!
Get on the instruments early and stay on them until you get close to breaking out of IMC. Scan with your eyes and not with your head. Adjust your personal minimums until you get more comfortable and proficient.
And finally, just because you are rated doesn't mean you can't go up with a CFII (or an experienced, comfortable, current instrument-rated pilot) to ride shotgun while you get yourself more acclimated to the IMC environment. If I were you, I would be looking for every smooth, IMC day I could find (or afford) to get used to it. Avoid overly turbulent days at first, as this would most likely be counter-productive.
Stick with it, you'll get the hang of it soon enough. Just try not to get in over your head.
