Hi all. I was put on mirtazapine about 4-5 months ago for PND/GAD (now on 45mg). Im now under Healthy Minds (took about 6 months to get an appointment from initial referral!!😳). CBT therapist has said she feels i would do better on a different antidepressant and feels mirtazapine is actually causing me probs now (weight gain/low mood about body/and lack of a social life - i have to take my dose at 7pm to be awake for work at 6am, but it means im drugged up and ready for bed by 8.30 ☹). Shes getting in touch with my GP (who i know doesnt want me to swap, as CBT therapist told me to mention it to her a few weeks ago and i got a straight no 😣) Anyone had any experience of swapping off mirtazapine?? if so, onto what? Or anyone in a similar situation? (I tried sertraline before this with no joy).
TIA x
