Hi all would love some advice, i am thinking of going on 15mg mirtzapine just for sleep, could anyone tell me which other AD mixes with mirtz, gp took me off mirtz because i also take sertraline, but i want to go back on mirtz for sleep, ive got an appointment with gp soon and want to come off sertraline and go back on 15mg mirtz but would like to add another AD? Thanks in advance x

I was taking Citalopram with Mirt for about 3 months, doc decided to leave me just on Mir' 15 mg FOR SLEEP which is working well and therefore the anx' & dep have subsided.
How long were you on Mirt' before and how did you withdraw? Quite a few followers on here very interested (to say the least) in wd !!

I stopped Citalopram as both my Therapist & GP said I didn't need both - although I KNOW where you're coming from as 15 mg Mirt' isn't really a high enough dose to conquer bad depression but GREAT for sleep aid. I would do that if I still felt depressed - if your doc' will let you.
It's great to talk to you and share - funnily enough I was wondering about switching to Amatriptyline to help get off Mirt near the end of tapering (months I believe is the best way). Why do you want to come off Amytriuptyline?

Are you saying you just swapped Mirt' for Amtripline - no weaning off Mirt was necessary ???

I'm took Effexor with mirt as well as zopiclone, my advice would be if you can avoid mirt & GP prescribe something else for sleep I'd def go down that route.
The withdrawals from mirt are white horrific to say the least!!
Hope all goes well for you x
