Setraline to mirtazipine

Hi has anybody changed from sertraline to mirtazapine?

Hi yes I have sertraine was no good for me made me worse was on it for about 6mths one good thing with new med it helping me to sleep

Thank you for your reply. Did they do a straight swap? They have changed me today, been on S for over a year and they want me to just swap over?

Yes just went straight on to them take 30mgs at night

How were the side effects?

Hi No didn't thank God wot mgs are you on for mirtazpine

Theyve given me 15 to start

Have you started it yet I'm on 30mg was put on it straight away

No, she wants me to take a lower dose of sertraline for a few days and then a straight swap. Does it make you sluggish etc upon waking?

Nope wake up feeling refreshed so glad I'm off sertraine made me like a zombie all time

Ive only read bad things about mitrazapine amd weight gain etc, in 2 minds whether to try it

Well only you that can decide but I'm on it and feel so much better than when on sertraine everyone is different

By way you gaine weight on most anti ds i put on loads of weight with sertraine
