    I’m sorry to hear about your situation. If the Dr said to increase to 20mg, you’d just take the 20mg in place of the 10mg you’ve been on at the same time of day you have been. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

    Hi, I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling so low. Perhaps increase to 15 instead as you may experience side effects which may not be pleasant! But I wouldn’t do anything till you talk to your Dr.

    I wish you well and take care
