Mirtazapine to paroxetine
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi All,
2weeks on paroxetine with no side effects, stop mirtazapine tonight, still no change in anxiety, cpn signed me off so no back up support now. Expecting a few sleepness nights, but dont really want to take sleeping tablets, but was advised to go to dr for some if it gets to bad.
Am really going to miss the lovely sleeps I have had on mirtazapine, unfortunatly that was the only benefit I got from it, hence going on paroxetine.
Love to all
Danielle.

CPN was only short term as I was having suididal thoughts and also taken a few mirtazapine, they have now stopped the visits as they dont see me at risk.
Having cbt at the moment but finding the tasks really hard.
Have not slept since stopping mirt and I am having some withdrawel symptoms, even though cpn said I wouldnt, having only been on a small dose 15mg for 3 month. Also take propanolol and diazepine, nothings shifting the anxiety today.
Do you know how long mirt takes to get out of your system. and how long withdrawel lasts, Im sure thats what it is as I have taken paroxetine in the past with no side effects and also none for the last 2 weeks I have been on it, only this now after stopping the mirt.
Best Wishes
Danielle.

In the last 12 month I have tried various anti ds and each time I have had side effects and gone back on mirt.
I now believe that yes maybe some where side effects from new drugs, but the symptoms have been the same each time I have just stopped the mirt and gone onto something else.
A fter this weekends episode I have been fine on paroxetine for 2 weeks and things started to go bad a day after stopping the mirt, addiction, withdrawel call it what you will, but its not easy to get off thats for sure.
Im now on a tapering down thing 15mg for 2 nights then half for 2 weeks.
Coming off seroxat a few years ago was a doddle compared to this, and I wish I had never started on it.
The only benefit I have had from it, is an appetite and a good nights sleep, I dont have depression and it never did do anything for my anxiety.

Seeing my psych in 2 weeks time to see how Im doing, dont want to stop paroxetine as I think that nearly 3 weeks on it I can feel its doing something, just want to get rid of the mirt.
Hope all goes well with your own psych appointment.
Best Wishes
