How can I help my boyfriend with his Miratzapine withdrawls?

Treatment and medication
1

My boyfriend has been weened off of his Miratzapine and he took his last dose about a week ago, he's been having anxiety, aches, pains, hot, cold and no apetite. I stay up with him at night and hold him and rock him until he can relax enough to fall asleep, i've given him baths with essential oils to get him to relax before bed but i just feel so awful that he is going through this and I wonder if there is anything else I can do to help him out. Any suggestions??? I can only hope that it gets better for him, I know that the dark is always before the dawn but I jusst want him to feel better. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I will have to hold on 2 -3 more weeks to get over the peek withdrwal. Try to eat healthy food, lots of fruits and taking 5HTP supplements helps, also massages and long walks.Any kind of distraction works also. I went down the same path, it gets better!

Did he wean off slowly?

Yes very slowly

Was he on a very large dose?  shouldn't be this hard surely!!

Hi 

 I feel for him I will be starting the road to reduce very slowly . Calmer has sent me a plan which looks good so going to follow it . It must be hard. But keep strong and support him best you can Just keep telling him there is light at the end of the tunnel .

75mg 2x a day i believe

Is he going to try anything else?

Oh no, most of the side effects out weight the benefits so we will be doing everything all natural from now on.

Well done!!!  I am going the same way as soon as I can get off Amitriptyline!!

I was just weened from effexor and I'll never take another pill again if i can find something natural to help. I'm not going through this again nor do i wish anyone to have to go through this. HUGS

Hi kourtney

Let me try & understand / the dosage above can't be right, can it?? Can u double check because I'd like to help if I possibly can. Also when did he actually stop & his did he withdraw (may have been coming off 45 mg/30mg or 15mg ???). Did he work his way down these, how long on each stage etc.

The awful symptoms he is experiencing now sound like withdrawal, Sounds like he came off too quick, let's see what he says ?

i sure the max does is 45 which i am on ? if he is bad he should go back to gp..he shoudnt put himself through all that

Hi Kourtney,

I can't add anything to the good advice that's been given - just wanted to say he's a lucky guy to have someone as thoughtful and kind as you to support him💑. Best wishes to you both

Awe, thank you! 

17

I know he took it 2x a day i'd have to double check the dose when I see him later. 

18

I think that might be 7.5 mg x2 daily.

19

So you were right lol I was totally thinking of a different medication he was on. He took 30mg a day.

30mg, i was thinking of a different medication he was on before.
