so my doctors have put me on a new medication AGAIN just wondering if anyone has taken mirtazapine and what their experiences are of it?? this will be my 4th anti-depressant drug they have tried on me.
Will it make me more suicidal?
please post back thnx
what is the brand name for it? i've taken the following antidepressants: prozac (bad experience), wellbutrin (fairly good), zoloft (on it now, some side effects but nothing serious), celexa (no noticeable effect), and lexapro (that one gave me bad mood swings but nothing too serious). can you ask your pharmacist more about it? i'm not sure which one you're talking about.
oh sorry... you're talking about remeron. i have been on that too. that one i think i had an allergic reaction to, couldn't breathe, itching and stuff, but no mental side effects i can recall.
i didnt like the drug, made me very very tired and dozy, but helped anxiety lots, mostly because i was too tired to be anxious. my mate swears by it though, she says it saved her life. x
Made me way too tired, I started it last week but have given up! The first night I took it I slept 16 hours! I would feel really drugged in the morning, and very forgetful. I also found myself moving slower. I could probably put up with this as it goes away after a few weeks, but the drug also causes terrible weight gain so I decided it wasn't worth it. I posted a similar thread last week, and there are some people on here that it worked wonders for, so give it a go! x
I was on it for a while... I still wasn't sleeping well during the night but felt very sedated and out of it during the day, and gained quite a bit if weight. It didn't help with my depression.
But yeah, it all depends on the person, really. Hope it goes well for you x
ok thanks ive taken my first tablet about half hour ago and i can already feel myself gettin tired so not overly impresed. I just wundered what your guys reactions to it was and im glad that you all have had weight gain as now i know il have to keep an eye on that.
thanks xx
Make sure that you take it just before you are planning on going to sleep, as you have already seen how drowsy it makes you feel. I too had quite a bit of weight gain. I hope you find the medication helpful. Take care.
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
I'm on mirtazapine and i take it before bed so it helps me sleep but you get used to it after a couple of weeks and the drowsiness isn't too bad. I don't notice it at all any more. It really helped me when i first started taking it and i didn't gain any weight with it.
