made it thru 1st week on Mirt!!!!
Posted , 6 users are following.
I feel pretty good , but I had to buy OTC sleeping aid otherwise I dont think I would feel this good. The Mirt* must be helping because I dont feel any anxiety these last few days , or bouts of panic/rage (anger) .
My concern now is , after reading other peoples experiences with the dosage increase, I wonder why does the doctors want to increase?... I am supposed to increase tomorrow to 30mg , but why bother if 15 is good?... and some of you are going up to 45mg and feeling worse, some feel better. Its very concerning to me, but I know we all will react differently as we all have our own reasons for taking Mirt* in the first place, well I just wonder when I go up to 30mg , can I stay there?..lol.. I dont want to mess up a good thing, and right now I know Im only in early stages, but man.... the whole increase thing...thats scary . I wish it just worked the same for us all and we would all feel well!!!

If you can manage on 15 mg, don't increase it. There's no reason. I'm on 45 mg and sleep but have constant palpitations during the day and last week was also put on Sertraline to try to lift my mood. I wouldn't increase it.

im just nearing two weeks on Mirt,... 15mg..
this I believe is the most efficient dose for sleeping.. Well
Not sure I want to go up a dose.. As the side effects from this dose are
for me unpleasant ,my taste has all but gone, and my tongue feels sore all the
time.. Not sure if it's Mirt or something else..
I also still wake around 2-3,am, then take a Diazapam to get back to sleep and have
awful nightmares..
I'm not due to see my GP until the 28 th Jan, but I will be asking for something less sedative.. As I'm hopeless during the day..
best to see how you do on the low dose.. Then talk with you're GP again, it's early days yet

I am taking Mirt* for anxiety, Insomnia and depression...so after one week at 15mg I am starting today on 30mg. 15 is usually what they start you on and keep you on if your simply trying to get to sleep on it, but when your trying to deal with the anxiety and depression as well, then thats why they put the dose up, and maybe even up again for it to work more on balancing the brain chemistry.

i was interested In these sleeping tablets and asked at the local chemist, but he'd never heard of them. Do you buy hem n a chemist or does it have to be a herbal shop and is that the correct name? - Sleep MD? He had the usual Calms and other antihistamine herbal remedies but had never heard of this one. Can you get it in Britain by mail order?
best wishes

But it came up when I searched, as only available in the USA..
At $25. Per box of 30 caplets..
Strange ..
