>I would talk to your doctor. If you are not getting much done, you may need to up your dosage. I am at 60 and still not feeling "normal". I am looking to augment, but we aren't sure what with. My pdoc is letting me go up to 70 mg to see if that helps, but so far, all I want to do is sleep. If I find some combo that works, I'll surely let you know. However, we all respond differently, so it's still a crap-shoot.
Good luck
