Hi! I was on mirtazapine 15mg for 12 days and 30mg for 6 weeks. I decided it wasnt doing enough for my anxiety and i felt like my head was in a fog constantly! I went to see the dr who decided sertraline would be much better. I was told to stop the mirtazapine immediately and start the sertraline. After some advice i decided to taper down to 15mg for 5 days the 7.5 for 1 day the start the sertraline. This was a bit quick i know but needed to get out of this horrible place im in quick!!
Anyways i started the sertraline at 25mg and the nausea and bubbling in my bowels is horrible and causing me anxiety! Is this normal from sertraline or could it be withdrawals from the mirtazapine?
I went on citalopram for a few days a while ago but couldnt take the start up effects but i seem to remember that going straight to my bowels too (i have ibs which doesnt help!!)
So is this normal fromm ssri's??
Im tempted to go back onto 7.5mg of mirt to see if it helps but my dr said i couldnt take them together!
Any help is greatly appriciated
