Hi

I have just finished taking mirtazapine and now starting on citalopram. I was on mirtazapine for just over 2 years - at first it worked really well but last year I had quite a few blips. In Jan I increased to 45mg but this had no effect so me and the doc agreed that I go back on citalopram.

I dropped to 30mg for a week, then 15mg for a week plus 10mg citalopram and then started on 20mg citalopram. I'm just about to start week two of 20mg citalopram.

I'm having real trouble sleeping, loss of appetite and feeling sick. Would this be the mirtazapine withdrawal? If so, how long will this continue?

Thanks in advance
