Hi,
I live in Massachusetts. My psych nurse just switched me to mirtazapine instead of trazodone so that I would not lose any more weight. She did not, however, tell me to WEAN off. I have had a headache since at least Friday morning. Yesterday out in public I was having trouble walking, like I'd just had a pint of rum or something. The side effects of anger and hostility are not likely to win friends and influence people. I am having trouble sleeping, I am now taking pain meds, have gone back to taking a little trazodone. In addition to all this there are serious contraindications among most the drugs I am taking, seizure being the biggest concern. In the UK do they just tell you, "Here, take this. Stop taking that" or do they explain how to wean off and slowly start a new drug?
