Leave it to the medical people what a "safe dose" is. If the capsules have 40mg, they have achieved this value not by just eyeballing, but by amazingly intensive testing.
If you have doubts on or problems with the prescribed dosage, please discuss this with your doctor. It helps if you can give detailed information on the effects it has. I have to admit that I have no first-hand experience with ADHD medication, but I closely followed the struggles of my daughter to find the right medication, dosage, and application method, and it took her quite some trials and changes of medications to find what helps her best.
Yeah and the professional didnt tell me that I can ust open the capsule, mix the powder and take a third, then a half, then 2 thirds etc.
So having that data would be very valuable.
