Hi all , my gp stopped my mirtazapine 2 weeks ago without tappering(I was on it for over 3 months) and put me on fluoxetine 10mg for 7 days and after that increased it to 20mg , since stopping mirtazapine I feel constant nasuea , but yesterday on day 13th without mirtazapine and day 12th of fluoxetine Ive been sick , woke up with extreme anxiety and sickness , tremors, cant keep anything down , went to see gp to ask if its side effects of fluoxetine or withdrawl from mirtazapine .he said its neither that is my condition 😳 ive told him I know my body and I know when something is wrong but he just thought I was being drama queen and he wasnt supportive . Prescribed me antisickness tablets and sick note for work. I was on mirtzapine for anxiety but noticed it was making me a diffirent person and I felt numb and more depressed . So now I dont know whats happening , is it fluoxetine or withdrawl or both 🤢

Some doctors are so ignorant and haven't a clue about antidepressants!! It will be because she stopped mirtazapine suddenly, the doctor should of said to taper of it, you shouldn't just stop antidepressants like that! I would request to see another doctor, and I'm sorry for what you are going through xx

Hi , I went to see 2 diffirent doctors and they are the same , you know how they always cover their back and protect each others and they dont like being told what to do and never consider that we may have some medical knowledge😯 as far as I know they could have done cross tappering as both mirtazapine and fluoxetine can be taken together but when I mentioned this she just prescribed me fluoxetine 10mg to start taking right away cause diffirent GP wanted me to wait another week without anything after stopping mirtazapine cold turkey. I think they dont realize what impact on peoples life can do messing with antidepressants . I have some diazepam but dont wanna use as im scared of getting addicted to it and want to see how my mental mood is progressing only on fluoxetine , but with feeling like this its so hard to find any will to live . Sometimes I think GP shouldnt treat mental disorders as they dont have a clue. One doctor had to check info about it on Google or in a drug book , just to be sure. And one laughed in my face that im feeling like this cause of my condition not antidepressants . I nearly cried there. I only suffer with GA , its not the end of the world but in my opinion doctors should be more understanding .
