First week on this med. Weird symptoms.

Treatment and medication
1

Was admitted to the hospital exactly one week ago. I was on cipralex 10mg , .5 clonazepam. They changed my meds to 10 mg cipralex, dropped the clonazapeam to .25 and added mitraxapine 15 mg.

I experienced heaviness in my arms , last night., a full blown anxiety attack. I was checked by paramedics and they said that is what it was. I am wondering if it was brought on by the new med, the decrease of the clonazapeam.

The pharmacist says to just stop the mitrazpine. I can not even get an appointment with the psychatrist till next week. She does not take calls. I have a family doctors appointment on Friday. I am now fearful to stop or continue. My arms feel much better , just very scared.

When I first started mirtazapine I had arm and leg heaviness, very tired and drunk feeling. My doctor said that will happen for the first week. After that week passed it was the best I’ve felt in 3 years. I was very excited and motivated, but this pass month it seems to have stopped working. My doctor said that I should try 45mg because the higher the dosage the more it helps anxiety. They also said the lower the dosage the more sedative.

I am so glad to hear that someone else experienced something similar. Interesting about the dosage. I genuinely hope you start to feel well again
