INCREASING METAZAPINE FROM 30 MG TO 45 MG
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have now been taking Metazapine 30 mg for 7 weeks and today is the worst day I have had since taking them. I went to the doctor's the other day and she said she wouldn't have any hesitation in putting me on the 45 mg. I said I would like to wait for 2 weeks to see what happens. She said that all Antidepressants take weeks to kick in.
I used to be on Venlafaxine and within 2 weeks I would be back to normal. I was on them for 10 years. I used to come off them after about a year but would always have to go back on them eventually. Then a GP friend asked why I kept coming off them so I decided to stay on them. Then they stopped working and I was tried on various SSRIs which didn't work. I am hesitant about taking the 45 mg in case I get some of the awful side feeects that I read about on this Forum.

I have heard about the number of weeks it takes and that's why I asked if I could wait another couple of weeks.. You say you were on them for 10 weeks so I take it that the 30 mg didn't work. I seem to have a couple of good days and I start to think at last this is it. Then the next couple of days are horrendous. It really is a funny drug. When I was on Venlafaxine it just worked no bad days and for me it lasted 10 years. If you ever need to change drug I would recommend you try it. At one point my GP tried to take me off it and she put me on Citalapram which was useless for me. She put me back on Ven. and said that they were always told to stop prescribing the expensive drugs. Fortunately she was quite happy to put me back on it.
Anyway Rachael I'm so glad you are feeling much better.
