mirtazapine experience.

I have taken my first 15mg pill it at 18:55.

Now the time is 19:03 and now I am waiting to see what happens. Some people say they had good experience from the 1st pill. Wasted money on a scam software and I was feeling really devastated and tired. A bit scared.

19:06, still waiting. I had a bad day. I feel a bit sedated. Not a bad feeling. I really want to cool down at all costs. I already had a lot of emotional pain (woman). I really want to drift into sleep and stop thinking. Thoughts have been hitting me obsessively. I got tired and sick. I wish the pill gives me this first time experience. I am still scared about the obesity side effect of this ****.

19:10, I don;t know what to expect. Other people claimed they got into sleep from the 1st hour. Nothing really harsh is happening. The sedation feeling is not clear, it may be a "placebo effect"

19:25, Nothing woww, I have just felt my eyebrows a little bit stuffy.

19:26, something is definitely coming.

19:27, Yes, a foggy cloud is definitely on the way.

19:28, The feeling is becoming more intense. I start feeling heaviness in my hands as I write.

19:30. Definite fog is going through my mind.

19:31 my Eyebrows are becoming heavy. I definitely feel sleepy. Not hungry yet.

19:32 A bit blurry vision when I move my eyes.

19:33. It is a relaxing feeling. My problems are still there but I can cope.

19:35 I am on the freewheel.

19:37 I have to go guys. Bed is waiting for me. Hopefully it will be a restful night! I will continue tomorrow...

i like the commentary you made me smile you will never sleep waiting for it. watched kettle syndrome, you dont get hungry after first 4 hours either, i take 30mg and dont get any more hungry than before the med , chill and let it happen, if it does it does if it dont , BUMMER

At least I managed to sleep. Without the med I would not. I woke up at 6 am (from 9:00pm) but then stayed in bed until 9am. My mouth is dry and I feel it smelly as well. I also feel a bit constipated. I want to eat but I will keep my hunger. I hope hunger does not get worse than that.

Edited:
15 hours have passed, and the hunger starts to hit me. I haven't eaten anything but an apple from morning. I feel like a failure. And also a bit constipated. I will try some of the syrup I once bought for constipation. I feel I want to do nothing.

CONSTIPATION is a side effect if you read the leaflet, you have to sort that out with you GP I get packets of Macrogol to make me go. If you smell the med dont do that ,get a bath. You dont stop eating you cut down on the junk . mouth dry chew sugar free gum, Surely you can work these things out . I hadnt slept for 5 days when i started MIRT , The 1st 15mg and slept well , i didnt lie there waiting to go to sleep , i just lay there and let it happen . i am on 30mg now but wake many times to pee in the night, its a med not a brick to the head

Hi Nuked Angel.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am a bit wary on the side effects. Yes I try to follow only the regular meals. I don't want to start eating junk.

I am not sure if I continue with the med. I will see how it affects me tomorrow and the day after. Happiness is still away from me.

My experience with Mirtazapine is not that it causes apetite changes directly, but alters reward circuitry and as a result the reward from eating increases and thus ones learned response to food changes. This can, I suppose, ultimately lead to alterations in the hormones guiding hunger cues but I believe that dietary and lifestyle habits can manage these better than Willpower or worry. Eat tons if vegetables like brocali, green beans, collards, asparagus, cabbage, etc with grass-fed butter/coconut oil/olive oil, some spices or herbs as center of meal. Limit excess carbs by eating nuts, remobe sugar from diet - how I lost 60 lbs while on Mirtazapine; had an additonal 30 lbs fall off on its own when I got off mirtazapine due in part to food becoming unappealing during withdrawal period.

If you're having trouble sleeping try dark therapy, it's done wonders for me. Med free for over two years now, even my psychiatrist of two decades agrees I'm betterr off of them at this point. Diet, sleep, and exercise are potent tools when utilized properly; there's lots of ways yo influence biology without succumbing to the madness of psychoactive substances.

I ate my sweet today. Not more than the other days but from 1st pill I feel becoming hungry. Hopefully I can control it finally.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Congratulations on managing to loose wwight while on Mirtazapine.

I had to google for dark therapy. I found out that "it is a treatment which involves eliminating all light, or all blue light, in a subject's environment, for a period of several hours prior to bedtime."

Yes I will buy one of those Glasses for Blue Light and UV for computer. Hopefully this will improve my sleep.

Can I ask you, if I can take the mirtazapine only for sleep and ask my doctor to prescribe another antidepressant for depression?

MIRTAZAPINE is about had good has they go for depression. i was 1 step away from dead before i agreed to take it . no weight on after 4 month 30mg. if ever you get put in hospital for mental probs MIRTAZAPINE is the 1 they go for in England if only a stop gap . because what other AD puts you to sleep to

My second pill is about to be consumed right now !

Thanks for sharing your experience NUKEDANGEL. Hopefully I will manage to keep my hanger though diet and exercise and not gain the weight. Do you think is ever possible?

Today I woke up from my second pill.

The second pill was not as good as the first pill experience. Sleep was not as good as last night's. I didn't want to get up and I stayed in bed until 8:30am (from 9:00pm).

Hunger is not out of control yet. But constipation is. Bowel does not seem to move.

you haven't even started Mirtazapine long enough to no anything about the med your quoting side effect after side effect , WHY??????? you don't get every side effect it says on the leaflet that just thr pill company covering themselves, it say similar on paracetamol and you dont read all the side effects on them. . CONSTIPATION is a sIde effect , you can buy loads of constipation stuff. or get the drinks i get free from gp , better than diarrhea now that is a bummer . You may put on weight ? you may not. it screws your metabolisms , SLEEP i slept straight through on first 15mg , i have never slept straight through since, But theN again i wont wake every hour with night terrors, This is the best reason to stay on this med NO SEXUAL SIDE EFFECTS , all meds in ssri , ssnri so on and so , snuff out your libido , do you want that i dont and neither does my wife . nothing worse than no being able to perform in the bedroom . that in its self puts MIRTAZAPINE in the top meds to use , it wil take 4 to 7 week to do anything and like al meds you get worse before beter

Hi Nuked! Thanks again. Yes I will wait a bit longer. I am a bit worried. Tomorrow I am going back to work. I don't want to be like **** again.

It is hard working through depression, but its worse staying home worrying. If you cannot make iT don't force yourself, its going to take 5 to 8 week to hit a cool spot , thats if the med works, but you need to do the trail to rule it out

Thanks NukedAngel.
Hunger is still knocking my door at the 4rth pill! Sleep does not come as easily, but I feel better. I can feel a tingling sensation in my mind which it means it is ****ling coming....

I only managed one pill of mirtazapine because it was way too sedating for me. Oddly enough the hunger came immediately, even if I could barely stand up I brought the fried egg I was making when the med hit me like a sledgehammer, into bed and ate lying down...

Sleep for me was not so good on this med. I woke up feeling like crap. I was still drugged when I woke.

You asked if one can take an antidepressant and this med, and usually yes you can, depending on the antidepressant. I am already on one, they just tried mirtazapine on me solely for sleep.

Thanks for sharing the experience. It sounds like you didn't give the med time to kick in.... 5th pill today for me. Constipated since the 1st pill.

Yesterday's sleep was a total disaster. I was in bed, I couldn't get up and I couldn't sleep either. That was horrible. Today I will try to stay 1-2 hours away from this stupid computer screen in hope.

With a lot of caffeine Today morning before work I managed to go to the GYM for really light exersice ( but I was like a zobbie. I managed to do light exercise but I was feeling tension in my head throughout the day.

I could hardly speak. I was stuttering like an idiot. This stuttering shlt happens every time I start an antidepressant. Can't get it right.

Please God. Make the pill to kick in. It smells shlt around me in this state.

Tomorrow I am going to meet my psychotherapist. This shlt is going ON and ON and ON for year after Year after Year. Got sick of it. IN and OUT of antidepressants, IN and OUT, IN and OUT, IN and OUT. I don't know what and if something is going to happen to break that cycle.

Since I had such an exaggerated reaction, my doc said it is not safe for me to take the med. The med stays too long in my system which means I might lack like an enzyme or something to break it down, and it will just float around and maybe cause organ damage. Also he said it is dangerous if I feel I can't be steady on my feet for over 24 hours after taking it since I do need to go pee, I have fallen on other meds and smacked my head. Guess he didn't want a repeat of that. Also he actually understood that I didn't want to be stuck in bed for a full night and a full day without being able to get up. I miss that doc, he was good.

Your doc was wrong sorry. There are many cases which had the exact same reaction after taking the 1st pill. One case is me. The second pill gives a completely different experience.

He is a good doctor and he is not wrong. This med is very similar to antihistamines, which I can't take. You mean I should have taken a new pill while still affected and totally drugged on pill number one? Eh... no thanks.

Why would you be still drugged, it has a time limit it doesn't stay in your body and take a walk round, its heading for your brain to alter what's screwing you up. taking 1 tablet and throwing in the towel is a bit silly. i have stuck out those symptoms for weeks without giving up/ and in the end it worked. Listen YOU GET WORSE BEFORE YOU GET BETTER, thats the rule of thumb. if you cannot stick to it please dont take meds , there not sweets you dont have because you dont like the taste

i take 30mg at night mirtazapine i don't sleep all through the night, but i don't wake with night terrors, i also take a mood stabilizer OLANZAPINE 5mg and 6mg lorazepam. a day Constipation there are thing you drink to get you moving, Jesus ask your doc or go tho chemist

Yes Jimi. This is how the pill works. The first pill makes you feel like drunk. This does not happen on the second pill. I mean your Doctor should tell you to proceed with the second pill. Do a research and you will see many people who have the same experience.

Day 6 on the pill.

Yesterday's sleep was not bad compared with other days. I had no Vivid dreams. I had some problem waking up but I coped by taking coffeine supplements while in bed. Depression seems to fade away a bit. Erections come more easily (sexual drive) (even if there is no woman in my life).

Hunger, Stuttering, Constipation, are the most prominent side effects. I hope they go away by the new Year.

There is a veil covering my mind. I feel my eyes blurring. I feel a bit less worried but when I attempt to speak I stutter, a stuttering that make me sound like an idiot sometimes.

hey jimi get your constipation sorted there is no excuse not to, the sex side you are right but now i cum too quickly with not much feeling after years on ssris , it took an age to ejaculate on ssri but when you do it feels better than MITAZEPINE sex . I was looking forward to a sex filled life but disappointed at Mirt , the wife is happy i am not going like a train for 1 hour i wear her out and me
