Hi guys,
I was prescribed Citalopram which did not agree with me and that medication in fact started this current bout of anxiety. Now I'm on Mirtazapine 7.5 mg nightly and I've been on that for a little over 2 months. Been feeling a lot better but want to see if I can make it without the pill because it's such a small amount, I'd like to think I'm doing a lot of the anxiety management on my own. But the problem is, I've got so many conflicting opinions on this. Hubby says I should come off and see how I get on, my GP says I can wean myself off "if I want to" but my counsellor says 2 months is a short time to be on antidepressants and I should wait a bit longer. I DON'T KNOW what to do. I am so indecisive and worked myself up over this tonight. This has prompted a friend to say "Well if you're this anxious perhaps you're not ready to come off the pills yet." :weep: Someone please help. I am on day 4 of weaning myself off and just feel so confused.
