Hello guys, I’m a really bad situation here, I stopped taking mirtazipine 15mg for 4 days as I couldn’t get hold of the meds. I felt better in the 4 days so I decided stupidly to stop taking them all together, now it’s a couple of days on I feel terrible my anxiety is crippling, I went to the doctors and asked if I could switch to citolopram and he did. My question is... 

What will get back in my system quicker and get me back to normal, taking my mirtazipine again or starting citalopram from scratch?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Citalopram takes 6-8 weeks to reach an effective state. Mirtazapine an improvement will be seen in 2 weeks but full effects will be seen in 2-4 weeks so Mirtazapine is much faster. 

Personally I found citalopram did nothing for my anxiety but that’s me. 

Mirtazapine is a really hard drug to come off too just an FYI. 

I hope it all goes well for you.
