speak to your doctor about going down to 30 mg if u feel happy to do this . i felt like it on 20mg i am now on 10mg feel more alert but still get days where i am feeling really tired . i am going through a blip for the past week so hoping it will pass soon as it is so annoying . But the good days out number the bad

i know exactly how you feel my head was a lot clearer when i went down a dose . I couldnt concentrate on hardly anything in work was a nightmare if i have a blip i tend to be exhausted for about a week but then get back to normal .

Agree with Michelle - consider reducing. Speak to your GP.
40mg is the maximum dose and many people struggle with this high dose. You can recover on a much lesser dose - I did on 20mg.
Ask your doctor - and if reducing consider doing it by 5mg each time over 3-4 week each dose to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Get to 30mg first and see if that makes a difference first before going further.

Ah we've spoken before eh 😀 Yes reducing will probably sort out the concentration problem - its always trial and error getting the dose just right for you.
Hope you get it sorted xx.

HI Don, thats a big dose! im not surprised you cant concentrate, like michelle says, think about reducing, but only by 5mg a time, till you feel a level your comfotable with, I personally am down to 5 & coming along nicely.
