Anyone taking 15mg Mirtazapine with 10mg Escitilopram?

Posted , 5 users are following.

I was initially prescribed 30mg Mirtazapine about 7 weeks ago, was fine for a while, then I had a major family upset which triggered my anxiety, so GP up'd dose to 45mg, this was too much for me and my anxiety worse.

My mental health nurse specialist, got me tapering off 30mg to 15mg Mirtazapine ( 30mg for 3 days then 15mg for 4 days introducing 10mg Escitilopram when down to 15mgs )

I stopped the Mirtazapine 2 days ago and feel horrendous, major panic attacks, shaking, hyperventilating, nausea etc.,

Can anyone give me any advice please, I haven't slept for more than 3-4 hours in 36 hours!!!

    What ever happened? I've also taken both medication for 3 days but stop taking the Mirtazapine 15mg because the medication made me feel really confused, paranoid, and it seems like the last two nights I've woke up with a shortness of breath. Looks like these two prescription drugs have a major drug interaction.
