Switching but having strange allergy symptoms
Hiya folks
As some of you may know, i've been on Mirtazapine and Pregabalin for a while now. At my psychiatrist's recommendation i'm changing to Venlafaxine as the mirtazapine was causing sleep issues and stopped helping my depression.
I've been off them for 2 weeks now and haven't quite worked up the courage to take the venlafaxine yet, but that's another story.
What I was hoping to get answers for is this. I've all of a sudden started to get random patches of itchy rashes/red skin/bumps on different parts of my body and a large scaly looking lump near my right ankle. I'm aware that Mirtazapine is an antihistamine and I do suffer from hayfever and other allergies (though the mirtazapine lessened them to a large degree)
Is it possible that my withdrawal from Mirtazapine is causing these strange allergic reactions as my body is now running without an antihistamine?
I'll be making a doctor appointment on Monday to get it checked out as i've also been getting breathless, but was just wondering if anyone else has had this experience when trying to withdraw.
