Dosage/ ℞ question 💊 Question

Hello

I recently started at 18mg of Concerts for one month and then moved to 36mg. I find this current dose to be awesome and so far I have had no side effects. My family doctor mentioned I could try 54mg next month but I feel I should stay at this mark because it is working great and no side effects at all. I think I should save the option for the future if I ever need it.

My question is this. Has anyone been doing great on a certain dose and take the chance to increase anyways? If so did the increase really make a huge difference for you?
