I also recently restarted at 10 mg/day. No AD effect yet, but I've got early morning wakening (been getting less than 6 hours most nights) and have been more tired during the day. I didn't want to take less because of that thread stating that serotonin doesn't kick in below 5 mg. (Are you taking it to boost serotonin?) When I took 20 mg before (along with 150-300 mg wellbutrin xl), the insomnia and daytime sleepiness was worse (also developed apathy), which is why I'm trying a lower dose now. I hope 10 mg isn't too low for an AD effect for me since it doesn't seem to be kicking in. (Of course, it may just no longer be effective for me at any dose.) I'm going to give it a couple more weeks, so far it's been only 2. I'm pretty sure when I first tried it I felt something sooner than this, though.
