Mitrazipine

TLDR: Mitrazipine
In a forum thread discussing the use of Mirtazapine, user lavalamp is considering increasing their dosage from 15mg to 30mg as suggested by their GP, despite reservations about using medication. Catsmother shared a past experience of discontinuing Mirtazapine due to a severe side effect and advised lavalamp to discuss maintaining the current dose with their GP. Shanahan92, who has increased their dosage to 45mg, reported positive effects and manageable side effects, such as initial carb cravings which subsided. Ukguy, also on Mirtazapine and Duloxetine, expressed uncertainty about their effectiveness and noted weight gain and ongoing depression. Agricola described Mirtazapine as the most effective antidepressant they've used despite experiencing weight gain. Overall, experiences with Mirtazapine vary, with some users finding it highly beneficial and others facing challenges with side effects and effectiveness.

Is anyone on or has taken Mitrazipine?

I'm on a low dose at the moment (15mg) but my GP wants me to up my dose to 30mg. I don't even like being on the low dose, but I am still considering increasing it as advised.

Thanks!
 
1 month so far. I've had a few side effects but nothing too bad. Its helped with my sleep I think I'm just very reluctant to up the dose, as I don't like taking medication in the first place, but I was in such a bad place just over a month ago, I didn't have any choice.

Hi I started on 15mg in August and I've upped to 45mg now. I couldnt be without it, I find its amazing. Red some very very worrying comments about side effects before I started taking it so was very worried but I havent had any of those side effects, one was crazy dreams, one was getting frustrated all the time, I did crave carbs for the first 2 weeks, wanted cake and sweet stuff but it passed after a fortnight. I take 90mg of duloxotine in the morning and 45mg mirtazapine at night. Xx

Thanks @Shanahan92 that is helpful to know. I started a new pack today, just to complicate matters the pharmacy has given me a different brand, so I'm feeling outside my comfort zone again having taken the first one (probably the anxiety talking). I'm gonna see how I got on the new brand before I make a decision whether to up the dose.
 
I’m on mirtazapine and duloxetine, too.

I’m not sure how effective either or both of these meds are as I don’t know how I’d be without them.

Suffice to say I’m down as hell at the moment. So they cannot be declared a wonder drug so far as I’m concerned.

The carb craving is dreadful and has caused me to put weight on. And consequently given me something else to be depressed about.

I was on mitazipine for many years and I found it to be a very effective antidepressant , my side effect was weight gain but the drug itself was the best antidepressant I've ever had
