Hi I was given this to take 2 weeks ago, I'd previously been on citalopram for 4-5 years 20 mg, but was told to stop this and go straight onto this! my dr did consult a psychiatrist first? I was taking 15mg at first now on 30mg last 2 nights, how has anyone else found this medication, I seem to be feeling worse, I'm also taking half inderella which is propranolol slow realising, ive been feeling nauseous for over 6 weeks which i have been told is down to anxiety, but it's really making me low, I've had a few other tests recently and I'm waiting for some more, but the hospital don't seem too concerned. The mirtazapine knocked me about for the first few nights and into the day, light headed, sleepy, achy, and terrible restless legs and agitated in general, I was hoping I'd be seeing an improvement but am I expecting too much too soon? the increase has made me feel worse I think, and the restless legs are unbearable, dr has advised to stick at them for now, and the mental health nurse, but I'm so low it's so hard to do, my husband has lost patience and has threatened to leave me, I have a 2year old and 2 older children, and my life feels so bad at times because I'm like this, I worry all the time there is something more seriously wrong with me despite others telling me different, and I've lost all my confidence, I have regular panic attacks, and I'm really needy and hate being on my own, I'm frightened that I can't get through this, I've no other family to help so it's really hard. Has anyone else had similar experience and tried this medication? I'm at such a loss, and need a friend :(
