I don't have experience with it so I don't know how realistic it is to keep upping the mirt, but that doesn't seem like a long term solution. Obviously you could go up to 15 on the mirt, but the question is how long before that poops out too? I would try to look at this is an opportunity to plot a long-term course with no fear of mirt pooping
How about trying 10 mg escitalopram, rather than cit? Some people find that easier and it is sort of equivalent to 20mg cit, with fewer side effects for some people. I just transferred from 20mg cit to 20 mg escit and... so far so good.
