Hi! Like everyone else , lockdown and covid has played merry hell with my mental health. I also had to shield and I was furloughed by my company.
Prior to this I was just managing on 40 mg of CIT, however insomnia and small relapses. I also used zopiclone periodically.
My depression and anxiety got worse and worse and came to a crescendo when I was made redundant a month ago. I talked to my gp who advised to wean off cit and start mirtazapine. 2 weeks of cit 20 mg and mirtazapine 7.5 mg , 2 weeks of cit 10 mg and mirtazapine 15 mg. Then 15 mg of mirtazapine. No difference, still no sleep and also a lot of anger and irritability. Phoned gp yesterday and she upped me to 30mg of mirtazapine. Can anyone tell me if they got the anger and irritability and how long it lasted?
Good news is I've found a position and I start in 2 weeks. I'd really like to be in a good place for this.
