Oh, to answer your question about how much to ask the doctor to go up, I would say 10 mg a week. Some doctors will increase by 20 mg at a time, sometimes with only a couple of days between, but from what I have read, and my personal experience, it’s better not to go up that fast. It’s something only you and your doctor can decide though.
And again, it is a controlled substance. Your doctor may be reluctant to increase your dosage, and even more so if you ask to double it. A sudden increase of 40 mg would look suspicious and could actually get him/her in trouble.
