I eventually saw my GP this morning and she agreed to start me back on mirtz again with Citalopram added in. When I previously took mirtz in the summer it didn't really do much for me in the way of relieving my anxiety, thus the add on medication. When I tried citalopram alone several years ago, I couldn't tolerate it due to the insomnia side effect... but this shouldn't be an issue now as the mirtz has a strong sedative effect.
She said I could start taking the mirtz for a week or two and then add in a small dose (2.5mg - 5mg) of citalopram initially or I can start taking the two together. My instinct is to start the mirtz first as it has the least side effects and then add in the cit. I was wondering what you guys thought - should I start this way or should I just go for the double whammy straight away?
