Back on it after taking a rest from all meds due to my immune system was terrible
Back on a low dose of 15 mg mirtazapine after first dose racing thoughts are gone looks like ive found the right med and dose for me
Anyone else use this med and have any positives to say about it?
I take 7.5 mg …it makes me lazy…!!!
Wow low dose surprise it effects you man
Been on it for 5 years, on a high dose it’s a great med for racing thoughts/“hyperactive minds” (and sleep, depression, depersonalization, agitation, restlessness)!
Though, never mix it with Latuda, you will regret it instantly, the two together will most likely unleash havoc on your mental health.
I take 30mg, it removes my depression and keeps me in a chilled out state.
Why not mix it with Latuda, please explain? I’m not taking any of these drugs but am considering starting mirtazapine so want to know what to avoid…
They interact. I guess because they work on some same receptors. From my experience I get sedation and stimulation at the same time, it makes me kind of hypomanic. I notice an increase in restlessness, (severe) agitation and (severe) increase in depressive symptoms but at the same time I get stimulated which makes me kind of over confident (hostile). It’s hard to explain how I feel on it really but it’s not a ride I can sit out.
Ah. But mirtazapine doesn’t cause any of those things alone, except the sedation. Correct?
Mirtazapine is a very clean and effective antidepressant drug, especially if you are prone to having an overactive mind. (Except the temporary weight gain when you get on it.)
That’s Remeron right? I took that for sleep. Didn’t work. But made me hungry.
I would love some weight gain, I am trying to add weight. I am worried about serotonin syndrome, I am very sensitive to increases in the levels of serotonin.
My wife takes Latuda with mirtazapine so what are the side effects I should watch out for. She has already had a change in behavior. She’s easily aggravated and when she gets to a certain point she’s hostile towards me??
