Hi fellow soldiers,
I'm longing to hear some positives, I'm meant to be taking my first mirt tonight, have stopped my fluoxetine today to go onto these.
Nervous!!

Taken with pregabalin, mirtazapine works well for me. Between the pair of them, intrusive anxiety is at a minimum and I sleep well. This has been the case for the past three years that I have been taking both, with no need to change dose (well, I'm taking the maximum, anyway) or loss of effectiveness.
Good luck with your first dose.
Hello,
I am also in the pregabalin and mirtazapine club. Mirtazapine really got me out of a dark place when citalopram stopped working for me...I then started to take pregabalin along side it and the both have stabilised me for the past three years. I am on very low doses of both at the moment but (touch wood) no probs. I take 7.5mg or mirtazapine and only 50mg of pregabalin.
Hope it goes well for you.

I'm the opposite. I stopped Mirtrazapine for Prozac. I think you'll find that the Mirt is very good. I had a lot of benefit from it while I was on for the year and a half. Try to get the melt in the mouth ones from your pharmacy. They kick in almost immediately. Good luck on it.Quote:

GP wants me to taper off the pregablin as we believe the mirt has kicked in - took 3 weeks to take effect, but boy does mirt work! Sleeping 8 hours, appetitie back (have lost 22lbs since April), anxiety 90% gone and I've not hit peak benefit yet (6 weeks). No side effects for me either!
I've felt more like my oldself in the past few days than I have felt since my journey began (April). Mirt is a wonder pill for me so far! :)

Forgot to mention, previously tried citalopram and sertraline but they both sent my anxiety through the ceiling!
I was in the pregabalin and mirtazapine club, now I'm in the duloxetine and mirtazapine club.
From 2007 to 2012 I was on Mirtazapine only, at only 15mg, and it helped me sleep - insomnia was a big trigger for my anxiety.
So I found it really helpful, it was only last year that stress dictated that I needed extra medication, but for 5 years mirt on it's own was good, and it works well alongside SSRIs and SNRIs.
Hey, how's it going so far then? :)
