Hi everyone.
I'm new here.
I was hoping someone could give me their experiences of starting on Mirtazepine. I have been on citalopram previously which worked well for several years. I tapered off and felt fine for a few months but relapsed. I have tried to get back onto the citalopram but the onboardiing side effects were so gruesome that I had to stop. After a couple of months 'clean' so to speak my GP has put me onto Mirtazepine
On 15mg it was akin to a miracle. The anxiety vanished....overnight! Going up to 22.5mg seemed ok to for a week. Then up to 30mg and my anxiety went through the roof.
I appreciate that we are all different but if someone has had similar experiences I'd love to hear from you, Did you stick with the 30mg and if so how long before things settled down? Part of me wants to stick with the higher dose and ride it out but if the way I'm feeling right now continues for too long it will seriously disrupt my life.
Hang in there folks x
