Just started on Mirtazapine
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi there, I've just started on 45mg of Mirtzapine at 8pm last night for bad anxiety and depression. I fell asleep at 9pm which was great because I haven't been sleeping. I woke up twice to go to the loo but nearly lost my balance on the way. I woke up at 6am (which was a major struggle) to get my children off to school. After about 15 minutes I felt alright and thought I can do this. Then while driving I almost fell sleep. I was soo tired still. I got back home after dropping the kids to school and went back sleep at 8am and didn't wake up till 1.30 pm. Is this normal? I'm going to keep going on them for a few days to see how they go.

These side affects are normal, but IMO you should not have been started on such large a dose.

The other worry is that your doctor has instructed you to just stop Cymbalta ~ is that right? Or maybe I am wrong ?? ~ you just can't do this with AD's ... there needs to be a withdrawal period ~ how long was you taking this for and did you taper at all?
I do hope you can sort this out, I would say to take 15mg Mirt' but it won't cover any WD from Cymbalta.
Best wishes
