I took 40mg for 2 yrs. My understanding is that GAD often requires higher doses than depression (I have both). Folks who "just" have panic often can get by with lower doses.
40 seems to be at the high end of lex doses, but I often need a high dose of a med to get an effect. I do think that your idea abt upping the lex is a good one. Is your doc a GP or a pdoc? It sounds like a fairly unusual strategy (not saying that it is a bad one, but I personally think I would feel like you do abt it).
Best,
EE
