Hi all omg I feel so I'll. . My pdr told me to come off mirt no tapering .. so shocked me as iv read people's experience with mirt & coming off. I went to see my gp 2days later he was shocked by her instruction but said I'd be over the worse now so not to worry.. its no better I feel so I'll. .my jaw is aching I have no appetite & can't sleep (that's all of a night time) during the day I feel quite crazy like manic & then just go so low.. has anyone else came straight off..?? If do how long will I be experiencing this for.. driving me insane have a constant headache.. thanks for reading ..
I really really wouldnt jist come off the mirtazapine ... I aint a doctor but my doctor told me to gradually come off them as there is side effects if you just stop them x
Hi yes I thought that too with reading on here .. my pdr was giving me a bad time so couldn't speak up about what I new through the Internet. Cant believe im getting worse x
Well I came off them at 1.5 after being on them 6 months, a year later I'm still having issues. Your best bet (what I should have done) is taper off them right down to zero. Maybe you could reinstate @ 7.5 and go down from there. Going cold turkey off this stuff is madness, the docs have no clue.
Hi joe I'm fine now thankyou . The symptoms lasted about 8 nights ..seem to be worse around the time I used to take them..
Hi sharon.
How are you doing today? Are withdrawals gone? Thank you for answer
Hi I'm ok thanks feel like I was never on the horrible stuff.. my suger cravings finally gone too .. so much better on venlafaxine. .how are you?
Well, not that good I would say. Actually I am thinking of coming off Mirtazapine since what I experience is daily total exhaustion, fatigue and also strange feeling like flu like. I don't know what to do :-(
Omg I had the flu every other week too.. as soon as it went I felt like it was back again.. you need to come off it ... I really went I'll with trying so hard to want it to work ..
I have these feeling EVERY SINGLE DAY. It begins in the morning and till like 2pm it is pretty bad. Then it goes a little better but not much. In the evening it seems like it almost go away but in the morning ... it is there again :-(
I'm relying again Theyv just blocked it for some reason. U need to Gt off this now itl only get worse.. I was so scared to go on to venlafaxine bt it's turned out great..
I am so scared that my insomnia will come again :-( ... Together with Mirtazapine 15mg I take also Cipralex (Lexapro) 10mg. I really do have a feeling that Mirtazapine is causing me all the things ...
It most likey is.. I got help with my sleep with zopiclone. . I took it when & needed ..& you will be able to do the same.. stop suffering really you dnt need to x
I will try to get half a dose today ... that means like 7,5mg ... I will see. Hope there will be no cruel withdrawal.
I was on 30 for 4 months & came straight off them.. no tapering.. 8 days later I went on to venlafaxine. . I wanted to wait because I was scared.. bt it's great I have no complaints at all.
What is your illness if u dnt mind me asking
What's ur illness . X
I was diagnosed with GAD ... All happened in November because I was scared of illness, I stopped eating ... stopped sleeping ... bad times ... today it is much better, however I have almost all day nausea, fatigue, this bad ill feeling ...
Neopenx hi, it's not a good idea to drop 50%, you say youu think you might go to 7.5 mg ... you might get caught badly with wd syndrome. Best to do no more than a 10% cut every 3-4 weeks to avoid that.
How long have youu been on Mirt and how long have you had the flu like symptoms? Doesn't sound right, maybe you should speak to your doc' ~ this is actually one of the symptoms folk get when tapering too quickly, hmmm shouldn't have to put up with that.
Best wishes
Been on Mirtazapin 11 weeks. Have had flu like symptoms since January and that time I was on Trazodone. Thought Trazodone was the cause but the feelings continue also with Mirtazapine. Maybe all of the sedative ADs cause me these symptoms. Problem is that I really don't know how to do 10% of half of 30mg tablet
