I am wondering if you heard your doctor wrong. V is one of the longest acting meds available. Its duration is 8 to 12 hours. It would be very unusual to prescribe it twice a day! 30mg is the lowest adult dose. If you feel it is not working after a few days on it, it can be raised. But look on the bottle. It should say only once per day.
Anyway, increasing the dose by 10 mgs will add about 2 to 4 hours at night. A high protein breakfast is important. With one, you should feel the effects in 30 to 45 minutes.
Hope this helps, but I would get on the phone to your doc (what kind is he anyway?) This medication is definitely not a two per day medication.
My script bottle even says twice a day. Ive decided to only take 30 mg once a day and depending on when i take it and how i feel by noon i determine on taking the second dose. Unfortunately im just stuck playing the getting the right dosage game. Thanks for the imput!
script bottle probably repeats what the docs prescription said. its easy to goggle it online and see what the standards are. I repeat that I have never seen it listed as taking twice a day, but maybe he's got something in mind. I would still call his office and ask if he made a mistake. Hopefully, he is a psychiatrist and has lots of experience?
