    Mirtazapine

    Has anybody else taken these for anxiety/sleep problems, have been taking them for four weeks now and they are fab for helping me sleep plus I am quite chilled as well, the only trouble is the Dr says I have to take them for at least another six months, but am worried about what happens when I start to come off of them, what kind of side effects will I have?

    Thanks

    Re: Mirtazapine

    I have just started taking them too and like you, I am feeling really quite good. I am scared at the moment to put it down to the pills in case it is my normal mood swings.
    Try not to worry about coming off them, you would gradually reduce anyway. If they are helping you, let them!

    I've been on them for 6 years. I started to come off them two years ago and had to go back on but it wasn't withdrawal symptoms, it was that the depression was still there. I find them really good and of course they help with my sleep.

    Re: Mirtazapine

    I came off mirtazpine after a year and it was fine. I did get bad palpatations for a week and then it just went. I put on 2 stone while taking this tablet and didnt eat that much either?? They can give you alot of fluid and bloat you out. Although these tablets really help you sleep at night i just could not stand looking fat anymore. Within 2 months of stopping i was back from 12 stone to 10 . But its up to you to decide which is best sleep of being fat. I now take Cipralex 10mg and feel so much better.
    Anyway hugs to all
