HI there everyone, I have been gone for a while unfortunately long period of recovery after my brain surgery. But my post isn't about that it is about my MEDS eeeeek!!!
I have been taking mirtazapine (remeron) at 45mg now for nearly 3 yrs but finding it piles on the weight.
SO my psychiatrist this week has decreased it to 30mg and started me on Duloxetine (cymbalta) at 30mg
So i am now on
30mg Mirtazapine (remeron)
30mg Duloxetine (cymbalta)
Now here comes my really irritating part
Yesterday I took the duloxetine during the day felt sleepy and a bit disjoointed after taking it and as always the usual anxious type feelings after taking a new anti depressant nothing major just felt a bit wrong
Took my mirtazapine at 8.30pm as always and then my sleeping meds at around 11.30 (they are 5mg diazepam and 20mg temazepam)
Now im really scared to take the duloxetine again as i hardly slept last night even on sleeping meds..... so im looking for help to see if it is better to take the duloxetine along with the mirtazapine at night or keep doing the daily dose of duloxetine and the night time dose of mirtazapine? And if anyonehas any information about experiances of being on both of these meds at the same time??
Any help at all will be So SO so helpful right now as I am completely bemused as to what to do.
Help and Thanks
