Increasing mirtazapine 30-45 what to expect?
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi all, fairly new here so hoping for some guidance. Have been on mirtazapine for just over a week after a psychiatrist suggested I try them in addition to 20 mg escitalopram which I have been on for a year or so after citalopram failed me.
I have the standard side effects of a sweet tooth and wanting to sleep for 12 hours plus but I believe my physch will be increasing the dose to 45. I'm conscious of what to expect. I'm currently off work but hoping to return in the next week or so but will the increase knock me for 6. I'm a 35 yr old male suffering from anxiety and depression but don't want to be a zombie with no feelingsAny experience would be greatly welcomed as I have read some confusing stories with some saying 45 was too much and others saying the higher the dose the less sedating effect. Any responses welcome thanks

Personally I found the tiredness did wane after a few weeks but was always there to some level. For what it's worth Mirtazapine didn't work for my anxiety and I'm currently back down to 7.5mg with a view to stopping soon and have to say feel better than when I was on the higher doses.

That being said my statement was a bit too generalised and glib as it was only my personal opinion, so I should have added a caveat to that affect.
Can we draw a line under this now please.
