My psychiatrist increased my Mirtazapine from 15mg to 30mg 2 weeks ago.
i thought I was feeling better but today I don't feel so good.
i feel low,numb and very tired.
i have been on 45mg before and got back down to 15mg but had a bereavement and started to show signs that I was going down again so that was why I was put up.
when can I expect to feel normal again.
i know that it takes time but I'm quite anxious today.

Hello Ele, I came across your threads today while searching for help on line with Mirtazapine dosage increase. I was on Ciprelex for 6 years for mild anxiety. My mom passed away 2 years ago and 6 months later my world was turned upside down by anxiety. I couldn't leave the house for weeks! I just payed in bed trying to fight the feeling of wanting to die rather than live with constant fear and anxiety. My Dr. Took me of cipralex and put me on mirtazapine 15mg and Klonopin .5mg twice a day. After a month I increased to 30mg and started to see light at the end of the tunnel. I went back to work and although still experienced anxiety throughout the day I could get through it. Then about 2 weeks ago I hit a wall again. Mornings I felt great but as the days went on it built until the evening when I experience full panic. I have 3 kids and it's excruciating to not be able to cook for them or help them with their homework. I just lay in bed crying and deep breathing. My Dr. increased my dosage to 45mg a week ago. I feel worse! I can't stop the doom and gloom thoughts which make me panic and the panic increases the feeling of desperation. It's torture! I feel like a zombie just going through the motions anticipating every little feeling in my body that I know will lead to a panic attack. I didn't mean to ramble on like that! I guess I just wanted to know how you faired. Did you stay on the 45mg and eventually feel better or did you find success with something else? Any advice is appreciated!!

How long did the 45 take to settle and work?
Cheers!

Hi Stevie, I ended up going back down to 30mg. The 45mg was just to much for me and increased my anxiety. After a few days on the 30mg I felt much better. My doctor added 10mg Cipralex in the am. I'm feeling 95%. I still get waves of anxiety but they are manageable. I hope the 45mg works for you!

Thanks for the info I will give the 45 a go as l am a week in now and will see how I feel over the next couple of days forgot to say I am on 80mg of Proprananol (beats blocker) on the a.m which helps with the anxious feeling during the day if this helps others reading this.
Cheers
Stevie
