I moved up to 40 mg once daily about 1 year ago. It's a lot easier to remember to take it and I find it worked better for me at the higher dose, but don't miss a dose or you'll feel really wierd.

The number of daily doses for medications like this can really depend on the patient. Most doctors will try to go with a once daily dosing, because as Baxter mentioned, it is easier to get someone to remember to take medications once a day, rather than twice.

However, splitting the doses up can work better for some medications, to give people better control, so doing that way can be beneficial if they can remember to take them, when they are supposed to.

My blood pressure medications were initially prescribed once daily, but then I would find it elevating at night, when they began to wear off, so I split them into twice daily doses. It keeps it in much better control for the day and I use an app on my iPhone that reminds to take them at set times.

And Sandra, it is normal for your body to get used to the certain dosage of a medication, if you have been taking it for a long time period. It can vary from person to person, but it does happen to everyone, eventually. You should consult your doctor, because you may require a dosage adjustment.

Are there any other questions or comments?
