Is it worth it to start taking mirtazapine?
cuz I’m very experienced with insomnia to say the least and I get like 45 mg a month
I’ve just been too scared to take it with all the horror story’s about the withdrawal and I already have moderately problematic appetite issues
so in your OP with the experiences you’ve had with it, would it be worth it? I say that again cuz it’s gotta to be taking a heavy toll on you from what you’re saying
Don't fucking go anywhere near them, they helped really good at first, helped my sleep which was mainly the reason went on them and for anxiety, I put weight on and looked healthy but now I've lost nearly a stone in 2 weeks as I can't eat, mirtazapine is also an appetite stimulant and you crave crabs and can't stop eating Google mirtazapine munchies it's a real thing, not only does it make you crave carbs but it changes the way your body processes them, so even on a diet you'd put on weight I put on loads of weight but it helped my sleep but I did get over 10 stone at one point, I've tried to come off them and take benzos to have a tolerance break from mirtazapine as it poops out on you, but I end up back on them again as its such a good sleeping pill and I get depressed when I stop them but your body gets used to the dose and you take more and more and when you go over 30mg it becomes a stimulating antidepressant, anything below 30mg its sedating, when you first start even half a 15mg pill will knock you out, then you go up and up as your body needs more of it and once you reach 30mg, you go to to doctor who calls an ambulance as its serotonin syndrome
They stopped my mirtazapine and I've had to wean myself off very fast using benzos and Promethazine self medicating and small doses of mirtazapine that I've got left, but the weight is dropping off me and I look like a fucking junky, yes I take drugs but I'm not a junkie anymore lol, but I look so bad that on more than one occasion they pharmacist has asked if I'm there for a methodone script
I can't fucking eat, I've no appetite and I'm self medicating alongside trying to come off Mirtazapine which if look up on any groups it says you need to very slowly by a tiny speck a month like 1mg using the water solution method
Its a mad drug it helps at first then it fucks you right up and you end up with depression when you stop even if you was only put on it for sleep and anxiety like I was, I don't know what to do I'm calling for an appointment over the phone tomorrow, I've been in bed for 2 weeks and it's affecting my fibromyalgia too and I'm not allowed painkillers for that either
