Hi all. I’ve been having a really tough time with my mental health this last 3 months. I had a particularly stressful period at work and ended up going to the docs with stress related issues.
GP put me on sertraline and I worked up to 75mg in the space of 6 weeks. Things got considerably worse and GP then put me on Prozac which made things even worse !
Ended up in crisis and my local crisis team put me on 7.5mg of Mirt for 5 days then upped to 15mg for around 12 days before trying me on 30mg.
I tried 30mg for two nights and realised it was (I thought) having an adverse effect on my sleep. Crisis team told me to try taking 15mg at night and 15mg in the morning. Sleep improved again but daytime haze / sedation was too much so after a week on the split dose I took it upon myself to start 30mg at night again. My sleep has been fine though sleeping way too much !
However my mood this last 2 days of being on 30mg at night has absolutely plummeted and my anxiety is through the roof.
I’m hoping this is just me getting used to the dose change. Just after some words of encouragement please.
