Things are great but there not, my introduction

4 Replies

New here, , i have always been down/depressed by default, some nasty effects from anafranil back in the day put me off meds and i ended up long term unemployed and very very depressed.

Fast forward to the present i now live in a breathtakingly beautiful village in Cornwall on a hillside and spend lots of time walking and surfing but i always have a black cloud over me and i avoid people, especially since my split from my long term partner. I feel very much not part of society

So maybe this is more an introduction, i have just gone cold turkey on mirtazapine i wasn't happy with my rise in hidden fat and they weren't working

I suppose i should try something else but i keep putting off a visit to the docs

hi welcome aboard how long were you on mirtazapine for and was it a gradual withdrawal in terms of mg taken or just quit on the spot best you pay that visit to the Doc for proper advice.

in reply to kenster1

I was on them for maybe 8 months ended up at 45mg but yes basically quit overnight in December so they should be out of my system, the only thing they really helped with was sleep on the lower dose, I drop off really easily but wake multiple times, they made me sleep right through

Welcome here. I understand, I am trying new alternative treatments every month. It s a battle.

thanks, what would be ideal is something that gives me the feeling i get from a bottle of red wine watching the sunset but with no health downsides !!
