Hi Jerry,
I suspect that you're right that it's best to maintain the same daily dosage. The thing for me though is that my goal is to not take any at all. I wake up and see how tired I am, and if I don't feel tired on a given day I won't take any. Then on days I feel out of it, I start with 20mg in the morning, and then continue taking more until I feel okay. I know it's probably not the best way, but in the past I've done the steady dose thing, and have just had to keep increasing as each daily dose lost it's effectiveness.
Anyway, my new strategy is to attack sleepiness from the other end. I just started Sonata, which I hope will provide me with more restful sleep, and thus allow me to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to "seize the day" (or at least feel awake enough to get some work done).

My thoughts are that if one day you only take 20 and then the next day you take 60 and then go back down to 20 - your neurons & transmitter stores in your brain get all out of whack. IF you stick with one dosage your body will adapt and you won't have so many ups and downs.
