Hi Ive been on mirtazapine for roughly 10 months
My psychiatrist has told me to quit mirtazapine and start trazadone. Which I did 3 nights ago. Anyone else done this without tapering , just swapped ads? No horror stories please I'm already terrified I'll get major withdrawals or something
Also if I was going to get withdrawals_which I really hope I dont. When would they start?
Ive never used either but each persons different
I haven't done this.
What I have done is tapered off mirtazapine (and still am).
Everyone is different so there's point talking about what could happen.
If you taper slowly, gradually reducing the amount over a period of time that is not too quick then you should be fine. Generally speaking withdrawal symptoms will be severe if you cut down too much too fast.
I was on 15mg for 12 months. Went to 7.5 to 3.75 in 3 weeks and I got bad abdominal pains plus anxiety and insomnia. Went back to 7.5 which I'll stay on till xmas then will go down to 3.75 hopefully till march 17 before coming off altogether.
Estoy de acuerdo con Paul. No hay otro AD que pueda cubrir el síndrome de discontinuación de Mirt'. Podrías tener suerte; pero para responder a tu pregunta, diría que en cualquier momento entre el día 4 y las 2 semanas, a veces a las 2 semanas te sorprende.
No esperes que tu médico o tu médico de cabecera sepan nada sobre el descenso necesario. Para una elección informada, haz clic en mi nombre y sigue los enlaces en mi estado.
Sin historias de terror - buena suerte.
¡Oh, cielos! Deberías dejar gradualmente el mirtazapina mientras comienzas con una dosis baja de trazodona, que solo debe aumentar mientras dejas el mirtazapina. Llama y pregunta cómo hacerlo. Lo siento mucho por lo que estás pasando.
Is this the post you said was missing?? I would say that if you started the new regime 3 nights ago, I can't imagine you will start getting withdrawal symptoms now. It is generally a couple of days after I have found, also it depends on how much mirtazapine you were taking to start with. Good luck.
