Hi, i am from Holland and found this forum.

I am suffering from anxiety en tried many adds, nothing helps, i was going sky high.

Now i am taking Mirtazapine and have tried it in diferent doses.

30 mg was too much and 15 mg too, i would sleeping al day.

And 15 mg makes me angry en depressive.

Now i am on 7.50 mg and my sleep is good but after one hour the anxiety comes back and i can do nothing, have diazepam four times a day 5 mg.

Is there someone who takes 11.25 mg that helpes against anxiety?

I have been dealing with it for 4 years now.

    Hello everyone,

    I have been back on Mirt sinds four weeks.

    I don´t manage it without it.

    My anxiety takes all my energy.

    So i decided to go back on it.

    When does the anxiety slow down?

    I am on 15 mg now four weeks.

    And i am tired in the evening about 7.

    The time before i came from 30 mg for a month and then to 15 mg and that leveled out then.

    It takes so long to level out.

    Thanks for reply.

    Hello again,

    I am in a very bad place.

    I have been 8 weeks on 15 mg Mirt again but the anxiety would not go down, it is getting worse.

    Espessilay in the morning and in the evening i am so tired and my muscles are twitching al the time, my eyes are blurry.

    What to do, must i wait longer or go down to 11,25 mg?

    Simple, you're addicted to Diazepam. You need to wean of off it, see your doctor for the best way to taper it. Then increase mirt to 11.25. It's enough to sleep well and has an anti depressive effect after a while. It's what I'm on.
