Mirtazapine effects & mood gym *SU Trigger*

When was your last review with your GP?

My last review was almost 4 weeks ago,I've been fine things just seem to be getting worse the closer it gets to going back to work. I know the first day will be the worst and then it'll get easier but I can't seem to stop worrying.

I feel a bit better doubled up my meds which seemed to have helped. Im going to book an appointment with the doctor later today.

I don't think it's helped that the last few days I've been skipping doses every other day due to the side effects I can't walk my dog without my t-shirt being covered in sweat and it's only going to get worse with the summer approaching.

John, if you’re going to do that you might as well not be taking them at all. There’s a reason they need to be take daily. If you can’t cope with the side effects, talk to your doctor. In the meantime, please take them as prescribed, you’re just making things worse for yourself otherwise

Thanks I understand.

I've spoke to the doctor before about it and he said it's a common side effect,only problem it just makes more more anxious and not want to go out

Which is why you need to talk to your doctor. If you can’t cope with the side effects, then maybe mirtazapine isn’t the right drug for you

That's the thing I switched from mirtazapine before Christmas onto Duciltia 30mg and then Duloxetine 60mg which is what I'm currently on.

Sorry . Then you need to talk about the duloxetine - you need to be on meds that work for you and so you need to speak to your doctor.....
