Just been prescribed Mirtazapine

[brit]

Hi, i have just been prescribed Mirtazapine by my GP.

I had to get him to come out to me as i'm feeling almost suicidal.. I've been on Duloxetine (Cymbalta) now for a week but the side effects and the way it has affected my mental state are just too much to bear.

I tried to stick with it but i really feel i'm going mad!

I'm due to take my first Mirtazapine tomorrow night, the doc reckons i can start tomorrow even though i have taken a Duloxetine today.
Anyone else changed from an snri/ssri to this drug straight away?

I'm paranoid now about side effects, and about feeling worse before i feel better - i really couldnt cope with feeling any lower than i do now, i'm already at my lowest ebb - it wouldnt take much more......

Thanks for reading, Nick
