Hi all,
I have been on 15mg Mirtazapine for a month.
I have experienced no improvements while on the drug.
My GP said that I should stop and switch to Citalopram.
So at the moment I have stopped taking it, I haven't experienced any adverse effects of withdrawal yet apart from the dreaded brain zaps :)
Do you think a month is long enough to notice a change ? Was it too early to give up on the drug. Like I said, It was my gp's suggestion that I try a different drug.
Part of me thinks that trying a new drug isn't really worth the side effects...And theres also the issue of, if citalopram doesn't work, I'll have to undergo discontinuation with that and then possibly try ANOTHER drug.
Is it really worth the hassle ? Also, do people generally suffer similar side effects with different drugs? And is there any way to tell whether you would be allergic to a drug before taking it ?
I always worry that I will have the worst adverse effect and would have to be taken to hospital.. :(
Anyway, thanks for any replies :).
