Edit: I just googled some information and I guess the maximum recommend dosage for XR is 30, and IR is 40, though both may be bumped up to 60/day as a person's tolerance increases. This sounds pretty believable to me so I retract my previous statements. However, going over 60 mg a day will always always always be a bad idea, and even maintaining a 60 mg habit for an extended period of time will have guaranteed consequences. FWIW I was doing roughly ~25 mg a day average (some days 20, some days 60, some days none) and would take about 75 days to go through 90 pills at 20 mg IR dose. And that's with fairly frequent use over the course of three years. I would also never go above a 20 mg dose at one time ("double dropping" or w/e is a terrible idea). If you find yourself taking more than this you are abusing your medication and should taper down or stop immediately.
