Hi, I am new here. I have been on citalopram 40mg per day for approx 20 years and have been taking 40mg of propranolol in addition for 2 years. I have recently been diagnosed as having anemia and under active thyroid too. My mood is very low and I drive myself insane with over thinking anything and everything. The doc has recently decided to try me on mirtazipine, which I have taken for 5 nights, gradually weaning off citalopram at the same time. So far I feel dreadful! Shaky, dizzy, dry mouth, irritable and so so sleepy! I am willing to bear with these symptoms if they are going to pass but my BIG concern is that I have read so much about weight gain on these tablets. I suffered from anorexia for many years but still have issues with food and I know that if I put on weight I will be even more depressed. I have already put on 10lb because of the thyroid problem but a, hoping when that medication is sorted I will lose it.
Any advice would be great, thanks in advance.🙃
