Day 12 on 30MG of Mirtz - hell

Yeah thanks for the reply, Im hoping it works for me i was bad on fluoxetine years ago when i first but then after 4 weeks i was fine for 3 years straight, then got worse and worse anxiety started switching over, i hope mirtz works i love the sleeping aspect of it cause i had anxiety insomnia before it helps that for sure.

my wife was on it 6 years and hasnt slept more than 2 hours at a time in 3 months. it messes up the histamine receptor in some people. theres lots of other good medication out there. i see one study saying the reason it helps with depression and anxiety is because its given people the sleep back which helps that aspect. not trying to put you off

but theres not many that work well with venlafaxine(i was told) but like I said can't knock the drug its helped me sleep good hours deep sleep before I was getting hardly any at all.

thats the main thing mate

Day 16 still bad anxiety 😦 ugh gotta ride it out.

hi mate , i would of thought the anxiety would of calmed down by now with mirtazipine.

im on day 10 escitalopram

has things settled mate

Im on Day 18 so nearly 3 weeks i feel horrible, increased anxiety when i wake up nerves are high nearly all of the time feel agitated depression is low i hate it. I think next week ill ring Dr and see what he suggests but i know what he will say "give it time" or "ride it out".

honestly mate i was like that and the longer it went on it got worse even panic attacks which i didnt have for the first 3 weeks and the agitation was worse in the morning but it was to much. i called 111 and the gp said to me alot of people get that side effect and should go away in the first two weeks as mine got worse he said to me to come of as soon as i can. if you look up on here on angry posts you will see how many have the agitation.

Also the higher you go the more activating it is

what did you do? I feel like giving up dropping down to 15mg or doing something can't get hold of my Dr till Wednesday. ugh!

i tapered for one week by missing a day on a day for a week then stopped as o was only on it 6 weeks. maybe go down and see if it calms down mate as the agitation with anxiety isnt nice

yeah ill try that ASAP. getting too much for me now.

yeah you cant keep going like that. how long have you been on them in total because they can give some withdrawals for alot of people. i was fine

Well in total about 5 weeks I started on 15mg at first, I'm stuck now because I been on the Venlafaxine I don't think I can add lexapro because of Serotonin Syndrome and it will take ages to come off the Venlafaxine.

was it doing it at 15 mg

the thing is you cant carry on like that there are other combinations

I cant remenber now my brains so foggy I think I was still getting anxiety at 15mg thats why when I rang Dr he said increase it to 30mg

if i was you i would go dow to 15 mg a few days and see if it eases then you will know its not agreeing with you. the nights i missed out i felt less anxious obviously when i stopped i got anxious because body adjusting. im glad im off it the more i looked into it the more bad i see

Talking to you now and your similar experience I think your bang on I will ring 111 tomorrow ask for suggestions tell them I just can't cope on 30mg anymore.

I think at this point I'd rather deal with the anxiety than deal with the extreme nervous anxiousness I'm at now. Unless by some miracle I wake up tomorrow completely clear.

thats how i felt i had enough it. have you had you dose tonight

they gave me some benzo to help with the agitation and to help with coming of quick so atleast i had some relief

yeah already had my dose tonight ill get a plan going tomorrow ill drop down to 15mg until I can get hold of my Dr on Wednesday.

Couldnt get hold of out of hours i was on hold for 4 hours just to get through to the call handlers! then someone rang me back and said a Dr would ring well i fell asleep at 2am 14 hours later and they rang at 10am when i was asleep! ridiculous, but i dropped back down to 15mg last night and ill try and hold for the Dr tomorrow. Crazy NHS is so messed up feel sorry for the workers.

i had the same ran out of medication and nearly a day to get back to me and i missed the call.

i spoke to a nurse today and she gets told it alot with mirtazipine. I hope it calms down with just going down mate and dont let the doctor tell you its normal because it isnt

hi mate any change from going down yet probably a bit early

you ok mate
