hi everyone, I've been on mirtazapine for about ten years, I didn't feel they were working now so my gp said go on fluoxatine (PROZAC) he said just take mirtazapine every other day then stop and start fluoxatine. after the first week, I felt like hell so I rang doctors and a different gp said do the every other day routine for another week then stop mirtazapine and go on fluoxatine, I'm confused as to what to do now. I'm a carer to my autistic son and it's making it hard to do my caring duties, also i have other health conditions, spondylitis in my neck, copd, emphysema, asthma and extreme anxiety and ocd and depression. and pain every day from the spondylitis, has anyone else done the alternative day reduction successfully after being on mirtazapine so many years, any tips would be great, thanks everyone
