Mirtazapine withdrawal. How to get our minds off it.
Posted , 6 users are following.
I believe we all are going to make it. We are not here to terrify each other, but to help each other exchanging info. Unfortunatelly we all believed our ignorant doctors who gave us this stuff without warning us about side effects and about the withdrawal process. We are experiencing one of the hardest moments of our lives. We are angry at the doctors and annoyed at our wives, husbands, relatives who thing we are exagerating...We feel lost. Nevertheless we found a little oasis, this site, where we feel less alone. All the people here, have a brilliant intelligence. Now, to get our minds off this drug I have a question:
What are your 10 favourite movies of all time?
My list
1) Chariots of fire
2) Rear window
3) Ghandi
4) Rocky
5) Top gun (yes Top gun...When I saw it I fell in love with K.Mc Gillis)
6) Dead poets society
7) Braveheart
8) Jaws
9) I do not remember
10) I do not remember

im not sure if anyone has seen dumb and dumber...it's not going down as a classic but I couldn't stop laughing through the whole movie...and the sequel is coming out soon. I don't go to the movies often but I'm going for that one. Just because I know laughing releases some kind of really good hormones.
hope very one is having a good nite and a good day.

For the urinary problem my GP tested my prostate but decided that it did not require any action. (When I was on Quetiapine which has an even stronger sedative effect than mirt I compalined to my GP that I was waking up after 10 hours sleep absolutely bursting - and indeed then I couldn't go. My GP said that I should worry - that his old men were waking up every hour because they were repeatedly wanting to go - essentially that big men don't cry.)
One night I forgot to take my meds. The next morning I found that I had not problem peeing. I realised that this was due to not taking my mirt. I emailed my psych. He immediately took me off mirt and presumably knowing my MH situation he said that I could go to a GP for an anti-depressant if I needed it.
So I stopped taking mirt (without any tapering). Within a few days the back pains and hip pains had stopped. No problems getting out of bed, my stiff neck has improved. I am going to the phsyio but the major problems are no longer.
I mentioned to a doctor friend on my choir about this. He said that it was sell known that mirt caused musculo-skeletal problems.
Finally there were two instances recently when due to either Sainsburys or my surgery my meds were not ready in good time when I went to collect them. So far from reducing my stress regarding my prescription it caused me great anxiety.
So due to a combination of incompetence and complacency I decided to change my GP.
