Mirtazapine

[ilovesprouts]

had depression since my daughter was 11 she's now 26 I've had a really bad 5 years of stuff going round in my head for the past three weeks.had pains in chest etc ambulance been out checked me over (twice ) nothing heart related,so my gp put me on Mirtazapine 15mg at first then up-to 30mg had a really bad few days crying not eating etc and my minds telling me I'm going to die it's awful to feel like this I'm really low at the moment ☹️.

How long have you been on the Mirtazapine? I was taking it (15mg then up to 30mg) as I have depression and EUPD. It was the only medication that really worked for me but they made me put on weight so I stopped.
That was a bad idea as my mood plummeted. I've just started back on them.
Are you due back at your GP anytime soon?

Been back today now on beta blockers. Feel awful x

I'm on day 11 of mirtazapine. I was told that it got worse before it got better and any sign of really negative thoughts ring gp straight away, so if you feel terrible please please do go back.

Hope you're feeling better op, be kind to yourself, I've come to terms with the fact that I won't be fixed quickly. Baby steps

Been back to the gp and she's reassured me I just need to be patient and small steps it won't happen over night x

Gets worse before it gets better, but really helped me. Was worth getting used to.

Yes that's what the gp told me too x
