1

hello there is anyone up and online...basically i have been worsening on mirtizapine and want to go to my doctors today but i am scared and dont really know what to say as a bit all over the place anyone got any advice they could kinkly give me today please ?..appreciated

Try writing down what you want to say before you go, get it clear in your head and you could give the doc the piece of paper if you get stuck. It is the anxiety making you scared, I think the doc will understand. I hope he/she can help. Pixie.

Hi Lesley,

 I am very sorry to hear you feel so bad.

Would it help to write a list of your symptoms and how low you are right now?

Some times it is difficult to explain and remember what we want to say.

Thinking of you and I hope your doctor can help.

thank your Sunbird..yes would help to write symptoms down i guess i dont even really know what they are right now so a bit difficult but will give it a go and ring docs soon thank you for your support....kind thoughts

Hi Lesley, what are you scared of?  The doctor's disappoval?  I know it's hard with some doctors but your wellbeing is your responsibility too and only you  can know how the medication is affecting you.

If you think it'd help, write out what you want to say before you go - good luck and let us know how you get on

Hi Lesley, I only started 7.5mg 4 days ago. I am so sorry it has not made you feel better. I would just be totally honest with your Dr. What dose do you take? If it is making you feel worse then definately speak to your Dr as soon as you can. Hang in there.

thank you Lee am braving it  up to make the call ......kind regards

10

i take 30 now was on 15 not good for me i think!!

11

How long have you been taking the 30 mg? Does. your depression feel worse or are you anxious? Thinking of you, and make the call to your Dr. Good luck x

12

been on the 30 for nearly 2 months now i am very anxious and getting withdrawn on them.....gonna make the call thank you so much  xx

13

withdrawn and cant face going out or doing much at all..like losing intresent in my self care and home awful..ahhhh..pick up the phone i must

14

Lesley, you picked up that phone yet? Just do it honey! Let me how it goes. Be in touch later. Are you writing daily lists? It really works for me......Please try it for 7 days...........It may help organise your mind (and my mind needs organisation 😕). Also, if I have a list of things to do, I get on and do them which stops the navel gazing and analysis paralysis that I'm prone to!😨. Go girl! Xx

hi lesley,

i am sorry you are feeling so bad.  it is clear to me now that having my mirtz increased to 30 is what gave me way more anxiety.   now that i am backmdown to 15 that anxiety is gone.  it's been 'hell' going up anddown on these medications.  jusr tell the dr the truth.  you have give it time andit is not helping, only making things worse.  my thoughts are withyou.

agreed Suzie think the same happened to me after going up to 30 lost it..still have..been to doctors he now taken me off them and given me something else!!....on the roundabout........hope you ok...thinking of you...xx
