Mirtazapine withdrawal

Hey Doolally yes seen all the side effects and im surprised that one was not on it, maybe the side effects list is lacking many others. Have not decided to take them just yet, they are sat on my shelf and thats just where they may stay.

Thanks.

Yes i know but a little thanks given can make me feel better for it. yes we certainly are and it helps to help, its good to share. Plus it takes my mind off things at the mo

Tha??? yet again : )

Hi All,

just to let you know i have started a new type of Propranolol by Actavis (the previous one was by Teva) last night and what a difference. It took me about an hour to fall asleep but when i did finally fall i was out for the count and slept really well all the way through which for me is a first since the withdrawal from mirt. Also i had no anxiety at all last night after taken it and this morning when i woke up. Just felt somewhat strange as i slept so well.Anyway just thought i would put this to type as it may help others. Propranolol is not an A/D it is a Beata blocker used for anxiety. It slows the racing heart rate and stops the release of adrenalin that make us feel so uncomfortable. i will update this as i get use to the med.

Thats great news pjdme!! Really gud to hear u have found summit that wrks 4u xx

Hi Doolally,

I feel kind of strange after a good nights sleep, my head feels clearer but still feeling low.

Hi gang,

Hope you are all feeling better today. Just took my first sertraline 50mg and stopped the 5mg escitalopram that i have cut down to for the passed eleven days. I just hope i dont get withdrawals now from the escit, what a set back that would be. But hey watch this space, that mean anxiety is bound to show up again the rotter. This 1st week 50mg is to be taken, then next week 100mg then the following 150mg and then finally 200mg. How long does this take to taper off if it does not work anybody please??? as if i dont see any improvement after that then i may to quit. Any hints would be helpful...

So yes i gave in and so i feel a bit disappointed there, should really have given it a bit more time. The escit i could not stomach anymore as it was doing naff all to help. in fact i think it was causing more anxiety to be honest. we shall see.

Hows it going all?

Hope alls well with the rest of you.

I didnt get any withdrawals off the Sert!!xxx

Pjdme

Fingers crossed the new tabs keep working for you, i think if you can sleep it helps to get you through the day don't you think?

I've started to feel the side effects of upping the seroxat so got the happy pills to get me through it, hopefully won't last too long!

Legs still playing up, but better than it was, I did manage to take the dog out!

Does anyone else feel so deflated when they have a goodish day then the next is rubbish? I had a couple of hours yesterday where I actually felt 'normal'

Hi Debbie,

I feel exactly as you do.

Yesterday I got loads done and felt good and today I have paid for it by doing nothing and feeling miserable for not doing anything.

I just hope tomorrow is better as I am wondering if reducing medication is causing the swings. My brain tells me to battle through the bad days but my emotions say increase the Mirt for an easier life.

Hi debbie, kenbo,

Yes sleep is so important for better mental health for sure . Taken the dog out for a walk sounds like your on the mend there, compared to being stuck on the sofa, now thats good news debbie..

Hope its not too bad for you guys. Raising or lowering a dose, we all seem to be in that same boat. If you want to get to the other side stick it out if you can. if not then just go back. They say its the weakness leaving the body : \

I also have the same but evenings mostly, it can be so misleading sometimes. I have a good one then its not so good. Coming down from the escit 7.5 to 5mg was strange/bad, great for the first few nights, i was kind of elated then bang it hit me for a few days quite badly but i got to the other side and the anxiety became much less. if you do get anxiety syndrome do try the new propranolol that i mentiond earlier today, it is much much more superior to the crap i was using before, and its not a A/D, Zero anxiety or tremors for real.

Hope you both the best.

Hi all,

I went to see the g.p. yesterday because despite the propanolol I am still getting anxiety though not as bad as without it. She increased it from 40mg to 80mg. I took one this morning about 7am just as it was starting and within 20 mins it had disappeared!

Sleep isn't much better because my hubby has a cough now and wakes me up frequently in the night with coughing fits. Just waiting for the family to be better so I can get my sleep back on track.

Sounds like people are generally doing well...thats good. I agree with pjdme, the propranolol is great for anxiety..and no addiction worries too.

I used to get good days followed by a bad day and that would ruin the high I got from the good day, I would feel so much more down with the disappointment of not managing more than one good day together. I have to say though that since stopping the antidepressants (except for the initial withdrawal) I have been having consistanly good days with just the odd blip here and there.

I hope everyone is well
