Bless you and that's great that you went for a walk see with me I love being out but now since all of this cannot stand being alone which totally isn't me! X
Toria,
I have that cant be alone thing, too. Really bad. I have issues deciphering "real" vs. "Ilness". It hard. That generates alot anxiety. Feel like a hamster on a wheel!
That really makes sense. I'm getting a better understanding of when it's my illness talking. I feel as though my life is over and I'm just hanging on but don't know my place when my Anxiety hits. Wish you all well.
I also had the "can't be alone" too
thankfully it has gone now just hope it stays gone as I was thinking I'd lost my mind not being able to stay alone in my own home...
keep positive it deffo doesn't last think mine went on a few wks but it dose go away so hang in there

Hopefully it will all be over soon, this is worse than anything I've gone through in my life x
I dont want to be left alone either, hubby has to be in house, i even need him to come into my drs appts with me. What is this all,about? Never had it before. Is it the anxiety and what can i do about it? I have only diazepam. Anybody else take anything that helps?
I have been unable to get above 15 on mirtaz, cut to 7.5.dr told me that was doing nothing and said drop off, i am doing slowly but feel terrible, have cut 7.5in half dor last momths and i have my original symptoms back, waking moaning and cant get up, when do im full of anxiety and down. Psych said to come off them and hes right they dont suit me nor did other ssris. I just cannot get better. What can he five me to lower my anxiety, he says thats my main problem.
My partner has to go back to work soon, I used to love being alone 😢 I can't take anything to help as I'm now very sensitive to meds x
I am also sensitive to the meds and its preventing me getting better. What can we do?
I'm just sick to death and feel for you all. Can't get to doctors until Tuesday at the earliest. Not sure how much more I can take of it. Life is no fun anymore and just bring those around me down to my miserable level. Life is just one big struggle!!!!😢😢
I'm just sticking it out until it's over to be honest as don't want to make my central nervous system worse x
Why did you go on antidepressants Richard?
You are very brave. Are you able to do much each day? I think my cns is truly out of sync. Normal life is eluding me, dont want to see people i know or family visitors and find shopping so anxiety provoking i need diazepam. Are you stuck in house with all this?
I have been on Mirt since April this year. Before that cit between 20-40mg for 6 years. I came off cit whilst starting Mirt and instantly felt better. Been on Mirt 15 since April then started with anxiety again about 2 weeks ago and was upped to 30 and agitated and anxious. I am sleeping but anxiety is there and bad in the morning. Also taking beta blockers as needed. I forcing myself to get out, just want a day where I feel like I'm making some progress but nothing. Just down and anxious. I have got some counciling. I took just 15mg Mirt last night to see if that made me feel less anxious but no nothing, still the same. Think I might need to stick to 30 and I hopefully should get into doctors Tuesday. I just feel so low and I'm ruining people's lives around me. It will be a miracle if my marriage survives this.
We all seem to be in similar boats here. GP has referred me to psych and he has tried several a.d.s but has suggested i get off mirtaz, doing it slowly but i feel awful. Never felt better really on it though hence the trailing off. I dont know if he has a plan for me but i am very down and agitated, he has given me cpn to help but not much help really. I tried putting mirtaz back up for a day or two to help sleep but made me worse during day, so now down low on it and anxiety is high, even psych doesnt know what to do.
I'm walking for at least 30 minutes a day, some days it lifts me others it doesn't, I've changed my diet and drink tons of water but I've always been like a camel when it comes to water anyway, we are off to Asda soon although I get really anxious doing things we have to remember nothing really happens x
Bless you Richard hugs
Hi Richard
your story is very much like my own regarding mirt...
instead of going up to the 30mg tonight would you not try 22.5 mg tonight ?
i like yourself didn't do well on mirt and never felt very suffered anixety until I was put onto mirt
when is the soonish you can see your GP ?
Tho I didn't get much help from my GP or my physc and both told je to jump of mirt at 15mg which I did
here I a man 3 months free of mirtazapine today and definitely feel he'll of a lot better than I did while I was on mirtazapine
i know it it takes a while of horrible withdrawals but to be honest I'm glad I stuck it out even though it was horrific from 4th day of no mirt..
I truely believe there is people who really get on well with mirt and then there is folks like us who it just doesn't agree with as I never felt well the whole time I was on it.... in fact I was like walking zombie

Have your nightmares gone completley gone at 15mg? I'm currently reducing,originally on 45mg but can't put up with nightmares no more,hence tapering off.if your nightmares totally gone,how long after you went down 15mg did they go?
Hi I have been on Mirt 15mg for 6 weeks and no more nightmares, an occasional strange dream but no nightmares.
