>I'll be starting at 20mg tomorrow, before moving up to 30mg after a week.
I'd be tempted to increase the dose according to response and adverse effects, rather than after a fixed one week interval. Go with 10mg twice a day initially and see how you feel. If you have any problematic side effects you could reduce to 10mg once daily for a few days. If there are no adverse effects you can increase up to 30mg after one week but if you are having problems you might want to wait a few more days before increasing. In order to make psych meds more tolerable, think it's important to be flexible.
