I have been on Mirtazipine for about 1-1/2 to 2 years now and noticed that my periods have begun to get further and further apart. First it was once a month, to once 2 months, and for a while it was one every 4 months, and now I am on month 7 of having no period since September of last year. I am wondering if this is bad for my health and if I should get off of Mirtazipine. It has not helped my anxiety, and it has also added strange sexual dreams and vivid ones where I would think it actually happened, only to later realized it did not. And I have noticed that being on this medication I have had more nightmares than combined in my entire life. I am currently on 15 MG every other day , I tried tapering off of it, but it made me feel weird and not okay so I went backto 15 MG every other day. Should I taper off of it more slowly? Maybe 7.5 MG every other day, then stop completely?
Hi,
I am past having periods so I wouldn't know. Hope you get sorted out xx
Better to direct this to your OBGYN or GP. I have been taking 30mg daily for over a year and while it certainly helps me sleep it has done nothing for my anxiety/depression. Nightmares have become more frequent side effect. Hope you are able to sort this out.
