Help - Mirtazapine Advice
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi there
I've been in Sertraline for quite a few years now and felt they had just stopped working. I was prescribed Mertazpine and told to reduce my Sertraline by half for 2 days and then half again for a day or two then start the Mirtazapine. I did this and had my first 30mg dose last night. This morning I couldn't not wake up properly and have no energy and feel terrible.
I'm now thinking I felt better on the Sertraline. Would it be ok to just go back to them say tomorrow? I can't take Mirtazapine if this is how it makes you feel - I have children and a job. Any advice greatly appreciated.

I was in sertraline but it didn't agree with me so I swapped to mirtazapine 30mg no tapering just a straight swap. Like you the first few days I had trouble waking up. However this does pass after 3 or 4 days if you can wait it out

Did youur doctor not want you to do a slow taper off the Sert? If you get a reaction it will be coming off the Sert so quickly, not sure if you can take both at the same time whilst withdrawing from the Sert ~ might be a good idea to ask your doctor.
It's a pity doctors don't warn you about the initial reaction from Mirt' so that youu can make plans around work and children, but then again I don't think doctors know, I don't think they know about withdrawal and the fact that it is supposed to be slow either, so do your homework when necessary.
Best wishes

Has anyone come off anti-depressants and felt better? Ive been on them for years and can't remember the last time I wasn't on them. Ive started to wonder what it would be like without having to take anything. x
