This is just hell

Ive really had enough now. 8 weeks now back on 15mg of mirt and i am going through sheer hell. My anxiety is through the roof im yet again off work have been 2 weeks now and i cant go on like this anymore. I fainted through the night on fr/sat. I awoke feeling very sick got up and sat on toilet and felt the faint coming on so slumped to the floor in bucketa of sweat. I didnt pass out completly but took almost 30 mins to recover enough to sit up then was violently sick. It was so bad i thought i was going to loose control of bodily functions!
Ive had horrible what i can describe as restless leg syndrome but its all over my body for weeks now and i feel sick almost all the time. The doctor is so insensitive and feel im just being fobbed off. Ive tried other doctors but always told i need to see the same doctor. I really feel this drug is causing all my problems and its a side effect but i tried coming off this in august with horrendous side effects where i was hospitalised. Doctor tried other ads but being sensitve had awful side effects. So put me back on these. Now i dont know what to do i cant afford to lose my job and cant afford to be off. Dont get sick pay as dont earn enough. I dont feel like me anymore just a walking shell of myself in constant pain and anxiety

I'm sorry you are going through such a hard time of it reinstating 15 mg. When you came off in August, was it a cold turkey, and how long were you off before going back on?

I really feel for you Kelly and I have been there. I can only tell you my story. I was on 30mg mirt and felt like you do now, lost my job and I'm also a single mum. I was put on Lovan (fluoxetine) tablets (that dissolve in water) 20mg. At the same time the mirt was cut to 15mg and started 25mg Quetiapine at night. This combination gave me some immediate relief. Then 8 weeks later the mirt was cut again to 7.5mg for 2 weeks then 3.75 for 2 week a then off. I had some side effects coming off the mirt (from 15mg)but it was bearable. I think the start up effects of Lovan were subdued by the Mirt, and the withdrawal effects of mirt were subdued by the LOVan After 4 weeks off mirt I was 80% there and after 6 weeks off mirt I was doing well. I still am nearly 4 months later. Eventually I will come off the Quetiapine at night but for now it helps me sleep well and im in no hurry to push my luck again! I will probably remain on Lovan indefinitely.
I wish you all the best. Please pm me if you want to chat.
