I was recently prescribide citalopram and struggled with increased anxiety, severe loss of appetite and unbearable insomnia. Have come of them now and been told to try Mitrazapine 15 mg, has anybody found these beneficial?

Hi I had trouble taking citalopram and changed to sertraline as my cousin was on them and had no side effects, I'v been on sertraline for a few years now and recommend them I had no side effects at all, Good luck let me know how you get on

I have been on both them medications the sertraline made me feel sick.so I stopped them the citralapram made me feel sicky a little but doctor gave me anti sickness to go with them for the 1st 2 weeks then it eased off

I actually started taking remeron 7.5 mg about a month ago. I bumped up to 15 mg 3 weeks ago.... I've seen some difference with my anxiety. My dr thinks 22.5 mg will be the right dosage for me....I have yet to start on that dosage because she said to wait at least 4 weeks to see how I responded to the 15 mg. I used to be on Zoloft then got pregnant-- got off of it. Then, after my pregnancy I tried Zoloft and it made me feel awful. Anxiety was terrible! So she suggested remeron. I hope it will make my anxiety better...! It's no fun living with anxiety.

I doubt you will have the side effects that you had with citalopram. Remeron is sedating and it is supposed to increase your appetite :). Let me know if you decide to take it and if so how it makes you feel! I'd love to talk to someone else that's on remeron. :)

Mitrazapine knocked me clean out for days hun I got the on a Friday took my 1st one that night and woke up Sunday morning I was zonked out as they are a anti depressant combined seditive
