This is arithmetic, not a plan. Fills are spaced 30 days apart — the label's own supply length — and priced on the date each one falls, so dated price changes are already included. Your prescriber decides whether you step at all, and many people stay at a lower dose.
The label's own words (once daily)

Initiate at 0.8 mg once daily. Increase to 2.5 mg after at least 30 days, then to 5.5 mg after at least 30 days. The dosage may then be increased to 9 mg, 14.5 mg or 17.2 mg after at least 30 days on the current dosage. Maximum 17.2 mg once daily.
