I've noticed that a: lot of posters on HealthTap, instead of asking a question, will post a statement like this one but put ? at the end. Why is that? Anyhow, 10 mg is a very small dose. You've got used to it. You'll need to increase the dose in steps till you get to a persistent effect without objectionable side effects. You may need 50, 75 or 100 mg/day. Call your doctor & tell him/her that you probably need more.
