Hi I have been on 30mg for 16month and was great except the weight gain!!! But 3 weeks ago it stopped working over night anxiety through the roof feeling ill very ill and crying with depersonalisation I rang my gp she said take 45mg and propranolol 3 weeks later I still feel ill anxiety is a little better but I was wondering can I go back to 30mg and will it start to work again???
Sorry to read of your suffering. I have read many times that Mirt' can 'poop out' (stop working), increasing the dose doesn't always work. I'm not so sure that going back to 30mg will solve anything.
I only know that your doctor, more than likely will tell you to stop taking it at some point, and you need to be aware to do a slow taper off Mirt. Click on my name and follow the links within this forum for a full informed choice.
So I think those symptoms that you have there are withdrawal, or discontinuation syndrome. The dispersonalisation, crying, anxiety are all listed. Hows your sleep? Tummy? It might be wise to do your research because doctors aren't aware of the awful effects of stopping Mirt'. Some people can quit easily but its a tiny percentage.
So bear in mind that you may need to start a taper soon, if you search you will find Evergreen's posts, she had poop out and slid off slowly.
Hope a little of this helps.
Best wishes.

This drug is nothing to fool with. You need a psychiatrist. Gen practitioners arr not trained for this. I have extreme anxiety so I feel for you. Ask your doc for a referal. Good luck.
