Mirtazapine 10 days in.

Butterfly1

My Dr. first put me on Prozac, but it did nothing. Now I take Mirtazapine. From what I’ve read on the web, Mirtazapine is supposed to be one of the better anti-depressants, but from the discussions on this site, it doesn’t work for everyone. I don’t know about the U.K., but every time you get prescription (or refill the same prescription) in America, it is required that an information package come with it with an explanation of what it used for and potential side effects. My info. sheet lists that if you have you experience, (as many have stated before) vomiting/diarrhea, or unusual agitation/restlessness, to get medical help right away. (It’s not a complete list). I’m not a Dr., so I can’t make a judgment call to stop it, or increase the dosage as Carole’s Dr. told her do. Everyone is wired different.

Mirtazapine helps me (45mg), but not my lack of motivation. My hobby is collecting dust, dirty dishes, etc. It’s also beneficial for me to get out and go for a walk, it seems to help relieve some of my stress and improve my mood. I listen to music on my iPod when I go for walks, it aids in keeping down my boredom.

Take Care, Steve (I like the name Butterfly).

Hey I'm on Mirt 30 and I'm back to normal. Yes I had terrible anger and patience issues at the start that I put up with because I got better before on this med. I am on a combo of Mirt 30 at night and 5 escitalopram during the day and the combo for me is perfect. If I'm being honest the Mirt took 12 weeks before I felt the benefits. No depression or anxiety now life for me is brill x hope this helps take care x

Hello Butterfly,

Obviously this drug is not meant for you. Having the opposite effect it's supoosed to have. Have you ever tried homeopathic called passion flower to calm your nerves instead of pharma med?

Stick with it Butterfly until the morning then go see your Gp. I know it's hard but try and occupie yourself, keep yourself busy and try not to worry.Take care.

In the mean time eckhart tolle does free mindfulness on the you tube would recommend all of his books. One thing he makes clear every person on earth has a problem with depression/ anxiety  or illness. It's not you ...it everyone. That's a lot of people. Everyone shows it in a different way for sure.

living in the now...means exactly that ...living in this second and not trying to escape. I actually think the people with anxiety and depression are closer to living in the now than people who seems normal. Why?  we already  know we have negative thoughts.Thats  the first step. Just hearing the negative crap our thoughts feed us on a daily basis. Anyhow check it out if you haven't already, it's amazing
