    Your doc prob started you on 10mg just to go easy on you to start off, after 2 weeks they usually increase to 20mg if required. If you feel comfortable going to 20mg then you should reach out to your doc and tell them first.. It also could get worse before better with that increase too, when you talk to your doc maybe ask for something to help with side effects too..
