Opinion about Mirtazapine
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hello all !
I have some question regarding mirtazapine.
I wanna take it exclusively for weight gain & appetite. ( I'm an ectomorph with high metabolism). 25yo 1.74m 66kg. I eat approx 3000kcal of clean food & workout 3times per week.
My question is: If I try 30mg for 6 weeks ( i heard lower dosage has nasty sedative effects ) how do i withdraw ? Because i dont wanna have those sides u have at a lower dosage.
Many thanks !

I know youu said you'd never take it again, and so did he, but it may just help you in the long run, then wean off megga slow from there once settled. I too am doing a slow taper after many months of researching the best way to WD, so I thought I would follow the 10% method, and then thought again and am doing a 5% every 2 weeks. Not for everyone, but at least it will give my mind/body a chance to readjust - here's hiping anyway.
If and when I get there I'm going to come back and let y'all know as this forum has been so helpful for me. My GP actually disagrees with my method saying you can get off it in 4 weeks - well - she's the other side of the desk and I sincerely hope she never has to try.
Wishing you well

I still take Clonazepam .5 twice a day and it was helping at first but now I feel like it can cause my anxiety at times. I have even looked into marijuana for the throwing up and not eating but I hate how cloudy my thoughts are on that too. I don't feel like I can handle stress of any kind and I have to force myself out of the house to get my thoughts on a better path.
I think the hardest part right now is the anxiety and panic attacks which bring on the throwing up. Depression is another one I'm fighting right now. I am taking natural products and I try and stay away from caffeine or any stimulant since I feel like my senses are hightened anyways.
I really worry that I might be this way for months (7 or more like David). I do a lot of reading and I don't even watch T.V. anymore. Anything disturbing or violent sends my anxiety into a tizzy. I really hope others on here are doing better and I am so thankful that we are all on here to help one another.
