50mg (2x25mg) as next step one week after start or waiting for 40mg?

I started with 25mg (in the morning) 4 days ago, coming from Vyvanse. Just a few side-effects like a dray mouth and tiredness. Feels like it already improved/stabalized my adhd-symptoms a little bit.

My doctor said, if everything is fine, I can increase after 1 week to 50mg (2x25mg). We will meet again 4 weeks after start.

My question is, should I wait with upping dose, that I can ask for 40mg as next step, or should I move to 50mg after first week if everything is fine?

I thought that missing 40mg could be bad, because 40mg could be the right dosage and probably I could not stay at 50mg for longer, because I think it's just meant to be a step next to 60mg.

My other questions would be, If you say do the 50mg step, splitting dose to 2x25mg?
