Hi
My CPN has advised me to go back on Mirtazapine under dosage instruction from my GP. I am not too concerned about the weight gain as I am under major stress at the moment and have lost a helluva lot of weight, so can live with that side effect-and can work at a healthier diet once my mood improves. Previous experience with Mirt up to 30mg was that it DID lift my mood and I was able to function relatively ok at that dose.
Big problem for me was sore mouth/gums-CPN suggested non-alcohol mouthwashes plus plenty water. I also have saliva tablets. Anybody had these problems and managed to cope? Also a real feeling of heaviness particularly in back of my legs was a problem too. Fluid retention?
I'd really appreciate any feedback-I DO feel the Mirt can help me but I see my GP on Friday and if I go back on this stuff I don't want the side effects to be intolerable as I really need a stable medical regime as I have been through just about every AD known to humankind without success. And I need to get back to work fairly soon or it's curtains!!
Thanks
Gordon
