Increase dosage on certain days

[Darren1]

I am on 20mg and recently feel like I need an increase.

However I am worried double dosage at 40mg would be too much in terms of side affects.

Has anyone discussed with their GP alternating 40mg/20mg every other day to achieve more like 30mg?

Why is there no 30mg in the uk??

It is licensed in the UK for 30mg. It will be specific manufacturers though.

It's also licensed for 10 & 20. A GP can always prescribe one of each together.

Alternating doses may mean it's hard to know what you are getting since it will never reach steady-state beyond the 20mg you have stabilised at and any dose above that won't be effectively stable. This could mean side effects.
