Yes you can increase the dose to 20

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Citalopram is a SSRI antidepressant drug. If your symptoms like hot flashes are persistent at 10 mg dose then the dose can be increased. Avoid using dose of more than 20 mg per day. 10-20 mg is fine considering your age.

Thanks
