I personally don't have experience with this drug nor have I seen many individuals taking 40mg of it, but I just wanted to say that you should base it off of how you feel when you are on that dose for a certain period of time. Maybe give yourself a trial period and reevaluate how it may be effecting your everyday life. You can always go back to 20mg or less if it doesn't seem like it's needed or doesn't feel right for you. It is regarded as a pretty potent drug.
