Hello everyone, i’ve been lately having some pretty bad issues with mirtazapine. I will first do a small background story on my journey with the med.
So i first started taking this bed almost 2 years ago. My original does is 15 mg every night. When i discovered how bad antidepressant can be for health if taken for to long and then also discovered that coming off them was very hard, especially if you been taking them for too long, so i decided after taking them almost a month, i decided to come off, but then i discovered that it was not that easy so i went to a facebook group and they helped me and told me how to properly come off( which is by the liquid method) So since nov 2 of 2018 i started tapering and i’m right now at almost 2 years of tapering this medication ( I’ve been tapering as slow as i can) So this month, like maybe the 3th or 4th day of this month, i’ve been experiencing what i can say is some pretty bad symptoms.
Now, i gotta say that i did experience this but like one time and then it never came back till this month, were almost constant i’ve been experiencing this throughout the day or at night when i’m sleeping (whish wakes me up and is bad)
This is what i can remember that it happens to me Either at day time or night, this happens:
Sometimes it starts with a tremor(slight trembling) or a weird sensation on my neck, other times it start with feeling uneasy/dizzy or shivers through my body and sometimes it comes as like my head feels light and my ears get this weird sound and sometimes it comes without a warning. I start feeling faint, like fainting and my stomach feels numb and i start to feel like i cant breath and a very bad/ annoying feeling throughout my body that i need to start moving, then my feets and hands start to sweat, then i start to feel more often the feeling of fainting or as if something bad is gonna happen to me and it keep getting worse. My heart rates faster or slower(either ways) some weird feelings start to go up to my head, feeling numb or cramps or something very weird and the list goes on. I feel dizzy/ without balance , like i was gonna shot down complitely and this horrible thing can last hours or minutes and rarely seconds. I’ve been getting this more when i’m awake although lately is been happening when i’m sleeping and my eyesight has change because of it. Like if i had depersonalization or derealization , i get blurry vision, i sometimes see things too big or far away, also very dizzy and i start to see as if all happening was a nightmare and i feel like i’m not actually here or feel at all.
In other words, this symptoms are the worst and i can’t seem to find a way to male then go away. I’m trying to eat healthy, drink water and exercise but because i’ve been lacking sleep because of those symptoms i feel super weak and fatigue. Can anyone relate and tell me a solution? i can’t spend another year(which is the time left for me to fully come off this medication) feeling that way.
