Been on antidepressants for over 40 yrs and on citalopram for 5yrs but due to menopausAl symptoms with insomnia gp decided to try me on mirtazapine tapering off citalopram over 2 weeks.
GP won't prescribe HRT as I've had breast cancer.
So far so good I've been on it 3 days sleep is much better but I've been woken with strange body twitches,is this a side effect that will get better with time?

Thanks dawn I've been on and off antidepressants since I was 15 so it couldn't have always been the change 😊went to see my gp last week as I was desperate for help horrid night sweats wouldn't put me on HRT because of my previous breast cancer. I too had awful post natal depression and pms.got thrown straight into change with chemo no build up as I was only 40 so it hit me hard 12 years later still going thru it bloody nightmare
Keep well and take care Deb x
