Hi, I just came here to get some advice on Mirtazapine hopefully.
I have been on it for several years now, but it has never helped. It never stopped me getting deppressed, and I just get side effects from it. I am over eating due to quitting smoking (that has been easy, quitting smoking not the problem) but considering I used to go between 6 and half, and 7 and half stone, I am now 11 stone. I sleep in late every day, can't motivate myself to do anything, feel like a zombie. But whenever I try to get off this mirtazapine I just cant even reduce. I am on 45mg at night, but can't even get down to 30mg as the withdrawl is horrendous. I am also on 1500mg Depakote a day and 150 mg Chlorpromazine each day. It is definitely the mirtazapine causing me issues as the times I have started to reduce I have had big improvements, only for the withdrawls to start. I have improved in my mental health a lot over the last year but this mirtazapine has me beat. I hate it and regret ever going on it. I do have an appointment with a psych doc on 1st March but I have no faith in them, they never did anything to help before and the last time I tried reducing mirtaz, I did it much slower than the docs recommended and I still couldn't get down from 45 to 30mg. Please advise me if anyone has had problems but magaged to overcome with this drug. It is crazy as I have quit drink, cigarettes and pretty much every treet drug, but I just cant get off this stuff. Please advise a very desperate person. It will be appreciated.:shrug:
