Hi

I have been on 75mg XR for 7 weeks and 30 days on 150mg XR. I have been feeling a bit better but this last few days been very tearful and had dizzy foggy head. I m on 45mg of mirtazapine and think that is not helping as feel so hungover in the morning. Don t want to go up on the ven I would rather reduce the mirt.

Is 30 days on 150mg to soon to know ?

    Hi Sarah,

    My instinct is to say you need to give more time. You don't say when you started the Mirtazapine or if that has been increased. I was on both and didn't have your symptoms. I'm reducing mone now after many years. Speak to your GP. If he's no help ask to see a psychiatrist. Also have you tried or considered trying CBT? It helped me a lot.

      I have been on mirtazapine for over a year 8 months at 45mg. I feel dreadful every morning have done since on it. It may just be too high with the ven. I am very worried about tapering on the mirt. I am keen to do cbt but waiting lists. It is very harx to overcome the anxiety when I start each day feeling so hungover and get tension headaches and dizzy spells.

      What dose of mirt were you on ?

    Hi. I agree with Catherine as it is early days although probably doesn't feel that way to you.
