Are you sure that you are taking 44 mg? Get the bottle and post back exactly what it says. Is it brand or generic?

The usual doses are 25 mcg, 50 mcg, 75 mcg. 88 mcg. Are you taking 1/2 of an 88 mcg to equal 44?

Do you feel bad, or just need less sleep? You could ask doctor to try 25 mcg first and then retest 6 weeks later.

Glad you feel better, but you don't want to be hyper.

I just saw your other post about your heart.

It is 1/2 of 88 then. Still, maybe start off on 25 mcg or even 12.5 and go slow. I started at 25 mcg and am glad I did. Now up to 50, and probably going up tp 62.5 (1/2 of 125 mcg).

It's not worth the anxiety of wondering what could happen at a higher dose. Go slow.
