The typical experience with SSRI's is that the dosage needs to be raised over time.
If you are feeling good on 30 mg, stay on it for a while. There is between a 99.9% and 100% chance that you will need to increase the dose soon, but there is certainly no harm in waiting as long as you do not hesitate to increase it when the effects start to diminish.
