Hi been on sert 50mg for 9 wks + only had a few gd days here + there of normality.Doc reckons i shld come off as ssri's aint for me(fluoxetine made me "crazy" so came off after 3 days).Any advice/experience for tapering off sert + at what point can i take mirt with sert ? mirt is an NaSSA which is a diff class of AD than the ssri sert so in theory they can be taken together but do not know at what point,
Did the doctor not say anything about a higher dose
hi we dicussed it but i've had a real crappy time on it + any increase is gonna make me bad/worse.If i am gonna increase its gonna have to be real slow indeed due to dide effects.Work is also a big worry as i 've been off for ages due to side effects.
Quite honestly my mind is torn as to which way to go.
Maybe im wrong but if you did see a few good days here and there then i think it maybe is trying to tell you something. It wants a little more, im in the same boat alot of good days and a few crappy ones so ive decided to up dose next week to 75mgs from 50mgs as been on that for 7 weeks now. It has helped me alot to be honest but 75mgs i think will be the final piece of the puzzle. I hope you get through it as we all want rid of anxiety and depression
never thought of it your way....interesting i must say,i hav increased it by 12.5 for a wk,maybe its time to increase another 12.5 ? thanks
sorry to hear that your sertraline isn't helping you, you should have seen a difference after 9 weeks though, i increased my dosage after 8-9 weeks because i too was having random good days and the rest were the same old miserable me days. i am fine on the dose i'm taking now, did your doctor not discuss an increase instead of coming off completely?? hope you get sorted :-)
hi i'm bad with side effects -(i take it for anx which still comes occassionally) hence looking at poss of changing.Now on 75.How long do i tolerate this before changing as i have to get back to work aswell
hi spoke to pharmacist who agrees wuth doc that i shld change -she noted i'd had a crap time on 50 + 75 so time to change she says.So slowly cutting back as of today with hope of starting mirtazipine in about 3 or 4 weeks.Got a call booked with doc on thurs.
