hello!
no, the 10mg is not enough for depression. I've heard from several psychiatrists that 20mg is the lowest active dose. so 10mg is more like a placebo.

my biggest problem is the fatigue. I have very low energy, and when I try to perform a daily activity of any kind, I get worn out very very fast. So this makes it impossible to go out and meet with friends, and live a normal social life.

I talked to my psychiatrist today, and she said, I should be patient, the full effects are only gonna be showing after 2 weeks or so. I'm trying to be patient, but I've been patient for 7 months now, and it's starting to get too much. but I hope the best. I'm at least trying my best with the psychotherapy and the medication. So far not what I expected, but probably there are deep problems if someone ends up in depression. And it takes time, and lots of pain to heal.
am I right?
