Mirtazapine (15MG) Withdrawl/Mixing Anti Depressants
Posted , 3 users are following.
Okay, so all of this is going to be a lot. So bare with.
For the last 6 months ish. I've been on 30mg of Prosac ( fluoxetine), and at night ive been taking a 5mg Nitrazepam for my insomnia.
The last three months or so ive been trying to cut down on the benzo (Nitrazepam). Whilst simultaneously cutting the benzo down to a half. I got told by my auntie by all people that Mirtazapine would help aid sleep.
Cut to two months of cutting down on benzos, and i guess moving onto Mitazapine (15MG). Ive been feeing physically ill. Sick to my stomach. Nausea. Pains. Mentally unwell. Anxiety at its all time
high. I just assumed oh god, this is all relating to cutting down on benzo oh god its the prosac— I looked up what Mitazapine was last night. Yes, it helps aid sleep. But its a Anti Depressant....
For the last two months ive been adding another anti depressant into my system that isnt even prescribed to me. Yes. I should know better, im 21. Yes, i should've contacted my doctor. But, if my auntie said it was okay, its for sleep, i just believed her. However, now looking at it. I dont even believe she knew herself it was an anti depressant.
I now stopped taking this mitazapine since last night. I still feel physically I'll to my stomach and in pain. I am reliefed to have found all this
out though. Someone tell me im
not crazy. That maybe why my
mental health has plumated to an all time low. Has to be related to mixing two different anti depressants, unknowingly knowing that mitazapine is an anti depressant.
Ive got a doctors appointment tomorrow. Initially was going to be a medical review to either stop my prozac/ to increase it. But oh god, the appointment. I honestly dont know what my doctor is going to say or do.
My question is. Ive been taking mitazpine last two months (15mg), and only last few weeks ive been feeling extremely sick internally and mentally. Since stopping taking them yesterday. How long will the withdrawl, this feeling of sickness last?
