I have been taking Citalopram 20mg for a few years now. I have had no problems with it, however, was also prescribed Mirtazapine 15mg to take at night to help me sleep. The only thing is I usually just take the Mirtazapine when I cannot sleep and not every night, which i mow realised may be a bad thing. I have ran out of my Citalopram prescription and am experiencing bad withdrawal symptoms, such as having dizzy spells and nausea. I'm wondering if I continue taking my Mirtazapine every night, will this get rid of the withdrawal symptoms quickly?

    This may be a silly question but why don't you have the Citalopram prescription renewed?

    I have found the mirtazapine very helpful for sleep but not much else and have been taking 30mg mirtazapine and 10mg escitalopram at bedtime for about a year and a half. As to every other day and its ability to help with withdrawal symptoms I would check with your MD or Pharmacist.
