Hi I was on citalopram and have been for past few years. My GP has swapped me onto mirtazapine (15mg). Will I be ok?? I am worried and stressing I also am on amitriptyline and she has told me to stop both of these and wait a few days to start the mirtazapine. I should take this on an evening and it will help me sleep (as did the amitriptyline taken for pain and to help me sleep).
Please don't say it will make me put weight on... as I really don't want that. is it just an improvement to appetite?? As is if so that is ok I will be careful what I eat.
Are there any different side effects I need to be aware of or is it best to not know?? I guess the dry mouth will continue and the not being able to drink any alcohol.
How many days should I leave it until starting the new meds??
