Brief Answer:
Start with 10mg right away!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Because you had initially taken up to 10mg, there is no need going through 5mg then 10mg again. I will suggest you start with 10mg straight away. Keep me updated with your progress.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
