Posted , 3 users are following.

TLTR: feeling very bad

Confusion, brains zaps and weakness are hitting hard

No vommiting but gaging.

Tinnitus is still heavy and the tongue, teeth are still sometimes tingling.

Yesterday was so dizzy I could not stand on my feet. Floating all day, when lay down for sleep or standing.

Sleeping is ok

Anxiety is back! Cannot hold my head on shoulders

Vision is f****d up, double images, flashes, light sensitivity..

Ankles and legs a weak

The heart so far so good. BP on avg 130/80. Started full 24/7 heart rate monitor on my watch. avg BPM ~ 77, max 100 min 55.

Last week did an angio-MRI(3 Tesla + contrast), all brain and vessel are fine.

Did also some blood tests - all fine, except vitamin D deficiency.

Went to the oculists checked my eyes (bottom of eyes and walls, and all kind of machines) all good.

Went to endocrinologist, thyroid is fine

FYI: cold turkey from 15mg off mirtazapine 8 weeks ago due to my country run out off stock of mirtazapine and not imported another batch. Have been on mirta 6 months. This journey has ups and downs, today its hell!

Scared, hopeless, trying hard to cope with it. Either taper really really slow or not go on this drugs people!! Anyway we are different

    I think increase in vitamin D would help you greatly. Its better to go organic on that and not take tablets.
