Ive decided enough is enough and i want off this drug now! Ive been on it for prob about 5weeks - 4weeks on 15mg and 1week on 30mg. Im wondering how bad the withdrawl will be when ive only taken them for 5 weeks...or should i be bracing myself for a bumpy ride?!
Any advice much appreciated! Thanks

I just felt awfull...i ballooned in weight putting on nearly two stone in 5 weeks. My cheeks and hands were swollen...my belly! Very uncomforatble. I couldnt go to the loo properly (pass no2's) i had room spin every 10min, i was irritable and p'eed off with everyone around me for no reason. And my god the night sweats!! I feel ok ish after stopping them cold turkey apart from today im fighting the urge to be sick. Just been to docs and been put on Sertraline...here so here i go again with another one! Starting to wonder if they are worth it.

I went 'cold turkey' because I really wasn't myself on these drugs. I noticed an immediate improvement the morning after stopping the first night. Like you, I was on the same amount of Mirt...but did reduce back to 15mcg the preceding week. 11 days later and I feel like bouncing off the walls! All my energy is back..I no longer feel like I want an afternoon 'nap' and honestly feel like life is for living again. Just be certain that your 'depression' has already been helped...what works for one does not necessarily mean the same for all...good luck. :P[color=darkred:aa1c493c6e][/color:aa1c493c6e]
