I agree with former posts. I would say that a 20 mg tab, instant release, is way too much for your first dose. How does the doctor know how you would respond to that dose and that it wouldn't be significantly more than your body would need? Why not start with a 5 mg tab? Do you have a record of requiring high doses for prior medications to be effective?
I take 10 mgs (5, 2 times per day) and I weigh 200 pounds. I have been on this dose for the better part of two years, with the exception of a few months on Adderall XR 15 mgs per day. I can understand requiring more than what I take, but you should consider starting slower, especially given your reaction.
