hi, At a dose of 20 mg, it gives the maximum effect, and above that there will be no additional benefit. As you have been using it for so long, you have probably developed tolerance to it. At this point, it is recommended to switch over to some other drug rather than escalating to toxic doses, which can potentially produce side effects like ataxia. Consulting a sleep specialist will help. Hope i am clear.
