Back to problems after stopping mirtazapine
Posted , 9 users are following.
I have been off mirtazapine completely for over six weeks after carefully withdrawing. These are not WD symptoms I am having now, but a return to my problems I had before mirtazapine. My insomnia is worse than ever. Even with a sleeping pill I don't get to sleep before 1 am and I am awake again at 6. I am so sleep deprived. But my insomnia returned whilst I was still on mirt, so again nothing to do with WD. I have absolutely no appetite, which is how I was before mirt and I am dropping weight at an alarming rate. I feel weak as a kitten but have a physical job caring for horses, so this cannot go on. This weakness and lack of sleep is going to drive me to depression again if I don't sort it out. But what can I do? I am sure it is a physical problem rather than a mental one. I can't go back on the mirt due to my blood counts and kidney problems. Any ideas? I think this is how my depression started before; lack of sleep and feeling so hungry but unable to eat.

so saddened to hear this is happening to you ♥ have you ever had your thyroid checked? The only reason I ask is I know this can make you exhausted and can mirror some symptoms of depression which can impact on the physical body eg. unable to eat and feeling so weak. I am having mine checked today.
I really hope you get to the bottom of it quickly.
God bless ♥♥

so sorry to hear that. Please excuse my ignorance, but what does stage 3 mean? Will your kidneys repair with treatment. I really hope so X
You are right that being able to eat is essential for strength and health. Are you going to go back to your gp? Please let me know how you get on xxx

Are you able tolerate a protein shake in the mornings, something is better than nothing at all. Really hope you get better soon and able to enjoy your horse activities ♥ I have just come back from my blood test. I kind of hope it is a thyroid problem then I may start to get properly better!
God bless ♥♥
