hypnotherapy and emotional blunting
Posted , 5 users are following.
Tried this for the first time today
Due to the extreme emotional blunting from the 30mg of mirtazapine I'm taking I was unable to access my past emotions properly
50 quid down the drain but definitely something I'd try again if not medicated
I'm really tempted to stop .. how long does the numbness go on for? No one has answers! Not my doc no one!! What's the point in living if you can't feel happy or sad?? Will it get worse the Longer on take these pills or increase the dosage??
I couldn't even feel upset today when talking about about my father passing away when I was a child I'm not human..
Sorry for the rant
I'm upset (well deep in my head anyway)

I was on Mirtazapine 7.5 mg and it a good job, my gp asked to increase it to 15mg but I refused. What's the point starting people on higher doses if perhaps the smaller would just work fine. It can always be increased later. I don't know your situation but mine was for anxiety, nausea, palpitations and insomnia. I stopped it now a few weeks ago and dealing with some very annoying withdrawal effects. I recommend that you read the mirtazapine withdrawal forum before quiting cold turkey. I wish I'd read it before.
Good luck! I hope it'll get better for you soon!

I'm on it for depression.
Main symptoms being early morning waking, fatigue (deffo not helping much there yet!), morbid and suicidal thoughts and lack of appetite.
I went for a 10 minute jog today , gonna try 15 min tommorow.
Although i get just as much satisfaction from staring at the wall.

I wonder if the effects have carried over?
I think I might give this a few months if I can keep my sanity.
I want to be all natural at some point and go the hypnotherapy route

I'm seeing my counsellor in a bit and I'll see what he thinks.
I think if I stop I may sink into a deeper depression
But being in this numb state is like being buried alive , and if I carry on taking them does it get worse?
This is the dilemma I face everyday
