About 4 months ago, my doctor changed my medication from mirtazipine to lofepramine. Initially I took 70mg in the morning, and 70mg at night. Although I got side effects, I didnt feel a huge improvement in my mood. I saw my doctor again last week, and he suggested increasing my morning dose to 140mg, and sticking to the 70mg at night, making a total dose of 210mg a day. I can't decide if I feel any better because I am distracted by the fact that I feel weird all the time. Its generally bursts of dizziness, or feeling a bit \"trancy\". Is it just me?? Its affecting my work slightly, but I'd persevere if I thought the feeling would stop :?
Just been increases to 2x70mg of Lofepramine so I'll keep you posted.
Hello, I have been on this medication for Y E A R S...it made all the difference to me.
The way I got around the feeling strange was that I took/take the entire dose at night when I go to bed. I do sometimes get slight dizzy spells but they are not too bad.
Ps. I was on 210/day now managed to get down to 140/day.
Good luck! X
hello redsquirrel how have you got on with Lofepramine? Do you have a long term view on it?
