Hello, need some advice, i was taking mirtazipine for 4 weeks 1 week of 15mg then halved to 7.5mg, because the side effects were awful dizzy, lethergic,on the upside i was sleeping better but im like a zombie during the day,iv been off these drugs now for 2 weeks and still feel very spaced out during and find i get very panicky if out in public,is this normal please help??
Hi Gemma,
7.5mg is quite a small dose, usaul doses typically ranges from 15mg to 60mg. It has been documented doses as high as 120mg.
Everyone is different and every class of anti-depressant comes with it's fair share of side effects.
The panicky feeling can be attributed to the withdrawal of the medication. Have you come off with your doctors approval?
Hi Gemma,
You wernt on it for very long, but Mertz is one those meds that works quickly and as such gets into our system quickly, so its likely your experiencing withdrawel. Did you get panicky before Mertz?
Kindest regards
Norman
