😅 I had been taking 30mg of Remeron (Mirtazapine) and started at 20mg of Latuda (lurasidone HCL). I decreased Remeron from 45 to 30 with no problems to decrease the impact on my digestive system problems. Then, increasing Latuda to 40mg and decreasing to 15mg of Remeron to help me sleep. Latuda has helped significantly with my treatment resistant major depression. Because of the following symptoms, we’ve stopped the Remron.
Remeron Withdrawal Side Effects I’ve been feeling: Nausea, Headache, Fatigue, Insomnia, Anxiety (different than usual), AND my new enemy: Paresenthia (I describe it as spider arms 🕷😖 where it feels like spiders crawling down my arms, tingling, prickling nerve sensation that won’t go away. It happens either after I take Latuda and during the time I’d usually take Remeron.)
Other than immense immediate pain I’ve felt, this is one of the worst prolonged sense of anxiety in my body. I have to tell myself that it is just temporary and not allow my mind to freak out with my body. I am counting the days it will be officially out of my system.
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
