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 ![Wink](/images/smilies/wink.png)
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.
