Hello all, I have been through a very rough time over the past two years. Firstly I lost my job, then went through a breakup, then I moved back home from overseas and I went through months of months of lockdown in isolation. I have no real friends where I am so I feel like i need to rebuild my life from scratch. I was put on 30MG of Mirtazapine four weeks ago by a psychiatrist after spending two weeks on 15MG. It has been very rough so far. Sleep is better and weirdly a few days ago I felt better for around 2-3 days but now it feels like I am back to square one and feeling terrible again!! Is these types of ups and downs normal? I have seen three psychologists and none have really helped, it feels like I am on a rollercoaster with this medication. I am wondering how much more time I should give this before I go back to my doctor/psychiatrist.
Hello,
I have been on mirt for 2.5 months and my depression is better but my anx is really high!
I went up from 15mg to 30mg 3 weeks ago and the anxiety has increased😖.
originally on 15mg, for a few weeks, I felt it wasn’t helping my mood, so I was told to take 20mg of fluoxetine with 15mg of mirt for a week, then stop the mirt. I had a really bad time with this totally wacko with insomnia on top. So stopped the fluoxetine and restarted mirt 15mg. then as advised started taking 30mg. Feel high and anxious. Don’t know what to do - cut down again?
