started yesterday, feel very odd

Hi, yes that is what I felt like, it was better than panicking and deep depression, now up to 30ml felt really drunk first day on 30 so cut back to 15on the advice go my phyciatrist then up again every other day. Still feel dizy but my head is a lot better, still dreaming a lot too. They affect people in different ways, it is something I am willing to put up with as it is better than the 7months of hell I have been in. Good luck try not to be scared of them

I was originally prescribed to take 30 mg a day at evenings of Mirt. J had to reduce it generally to 15 becaue of its dedative effect. My consultant said that the full doage was 30 mg and that is what I should be taking. I stuck at taking 15 mig. I am still sleeping 9 hrs and if I have to make an early morning start I don''t take it. I presume that I am not the only one of his patients who is taking Mirt. I think that one has to take the view that we are the experts about our own treatment. At one time I was considering working. It is just as well that I am not because I could not operate effectively in the mornings. With voluntary work and singing in a choir I can just about wing it.

I am taking Mirt rather than Prozac. I stopped taking that becuase it effected my libido. That was a price I was not prepared to take.

II was prescribed 15 mg. mirtazapine several months ago.   It made me sleepy and with very vivid dreams - not nightmares - but tiring dreams.  I never wake up feeling refreshed. The doctor told me to cut it in half so I've been taking 7.5 mg. and still feel sleepy.  I want to stop it entirely so shall taper off - one night taking it one night not.  I have mild depression - mostly sadness.  I visited a psychiatrist one time  and he said I didn't need anything, but my primary doctor prescribed the

mirtazapine.  I'm hoping that I can totally stop it without doing into a real depression. I can sleep 9 hours and still want more sleep.  This is no way to live.  But many people have benefitted from this medication - a friend of mine said taking it saved her life.  Sometimes it takes awhile for your body to adjust to it.  I wish you luck.

  

Hi Georgia i was put on 15mg for the first wk and like you had the best sleep iv had in years but couldnt get out of bed the next day i found that this wore off after a few days so it does get bit easier iv been advised to up the does after 7 days and iv done that although i was terrified incase i couldn t function but surprisingly i was ok and at present im just monitoring it on a dayly basis .
