      My pharmacy actually recommended I take half a pill more until my doctor was able to upgrade my dose. I would definitely encourage you to talk to your medical provider about getting a high dosage and how taking more has helped you

      Def talk to your doctor first about adjusting dosages. They know what safe levels are and what is appropriate for you, your body, the other meds you're taking, etc. More practically, if they agree that you need a higher dose, they will prescribe you more pills or higher dosage pills. Then insurance doesn't get freaked out that you're going through your meds faster than you should.

      I take 15mg twice a day so I think you won't do any harm. Also, when I was on 7.5mg my doctors said I could take an extra if I had a bad day. I think you should still discuss this with your doctor.

          @kai_tricker if you feel it's not helping I would talk to your doctor and see what they recommend. Also try seeing if they do a geneswab it helped me find the right meds for my anxiety and depression
