Can I Increase The Dosage Of Dexedrine Spansules To 40 Mg And Have Twice A Day?

I take 30 mgs of dexedrine spansules a day (2 in the morning and 1 after lunch). I would like to increase my dose to 40 mgs so that I can take 2 spansules twice a day. I have high anxiety when it comes to asking my doctor due to feelings of shame and guilt about taking this medication. How should I approach this with him on my next appointment? I am a 40 year old female in good health.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
For what reason you want to increase the dose of your drug? this is the anti-psychiatric drug, if you go increasing the dose then you will continue to increase this, so it is better to continue taking the medicine with the same dose as you are taking, find out the other alternative for your attention disorder, hope this information helps you take care, bye.
I find this answer helpful
