Ask your doctor 1st: There are a wide variety of pill strengths and it also depends on how you are tolerating the dose you are on currently (weight, blood pressure, etc.). It's best to talk with your doctor as he or she will know the best way to adjust your medicines to optimize how they work for you. Good luck!
