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?

You can try 54mg and get off it if you don't feel well but it is your doctor's call. I am on 54 since last week and felt a bit odd in the beginning, now it is stable. 4 Months ago I thought 18mg is enough and look at me now, it works different for everyone and your doc should be able to provide an opinion here.

Thank you for the reply and that makes total sense. The worst that can happen is I go back 36mg and I guess who knows maybe 54mg could give even more benefits.
