Hi, I have been on Mirt for nearly 2 weeks now, was on Fluoxetine for 4 weeks before but didn't see any improvement, couldn't sleep or hardly eat as felt sick so doctor had me stop & started me on 15mg of Mirt, when I first started I felt better but then the last few days have had increased anxiety & nausea again, + feeling down & depressed. How long does it take to start feeling effect? Thanks

    The last 5 days I have come down with Flu/Cold like symptoms which include Muscle Aches, chills, hot flushes, fatigue, runny nose, stomach upset etc. could it be Fluoxetine withdrawals after 1 month off or could it be a separate virus I've picked up? Note I was only on 20mg of Flu for 4 weeks before stopping a month ago cold turkey. I have also now been 15mg of Mirt for nearly 4 weeks so could it be that or are those symptoms unlikely when on Mirt? Thanks
