I smoke weed everyday since i was 16 and now find myself at 23 trying to slow down and be more productive so i went to my psychologist and doctor and they prescribed concerta 18mg and this to sleep at 15mg. Its mainly because ive been having trouble until around 3am when i tend to KO so this should help... had no idea it was an antidepressant and a weight gain SE isnf a bad thing for me. I weigh 130 since middle school so i hope i can go to the gym and add some muscle. Eventually if i smoke once a week ill be 🎉🎉 happy.

@@Haloitzchrisupdate?

Will be coming eventually! Thanks for watching, hope your therapy works out!!

Have you tried fluoxetine yet? I have PTSD and I was hesitant to start taking it too. My GP prescribed me 10 mg for the first 7 days, then 20 mg thereafter. But after reading the comments on a FB support group, a lot of people were complaining about 10 mg & 20 mg. As an experiment I took a half a pill one day followed by another half a pill about three days later to see if I was gonna suffer major side effects. After I survived those two test doses, I started myself on 2.5 mg/day for the first two weeks. Then last week I did a whole week at 5 mg. So I started seeing some of the benefits but no major side effects except for one. This week I’m doing 5 mg again. Like I said the “starting” dose is 10 mg/day (or 1 whole tablet). The one side effect I’ve noticed is some bruising on each hip. This could be be partly due to my belt as I don’t have much body fat and often have to pull my belt kinda tight to keep my pants up.

@@DaRyteJuan Dhow you doing

Did you try???

It’s a dangerous drug.

Do you have ringing in your ears yet? This med has serious side effects. Black Box warnings demonstrate serious and deadly outcomes for some ppl.

@@HaloitzchrisI’m in the same exact spot as you and am about to start this medication, how did it work for you???

Thank you Marife, hope you are doing well!!!

Hi I tried 3.75 once now is second week two weeks ago I took today I'm very low mood . How's you feeling plz let me know I also tried ( flouxotine+ olanzipine) combination it was help full for insomnia in the beginning

@@dawoodbhayat9509 Hello, hope you are well! Are you still taking 3.75mg of Mirtazapine for insomnia? Do you think it works at that dose? Any bad side effects? Weight gain? Constantly hungry? Next day sedation? I still have not tried it yet. I have been taking Sonota, its one of those z drugs my Dr prescribed. For me. Only last 2 hours so only good if you wake up in the middle of the night, not very helpful.

De manera continuada? Lo dejaste fácil? He oído hablar de lo duro que es la retirada. Tengo miedo de empezar y a la larga me destroce la noche, más allá de las benzo

Does 7.5 really help woth chronic insomnia? Is the next sedation terrible and food cravings terrible? Also wondering if there is withdrawl with this medication? I was on klonopin and coming off was terrible! May God Bless you with Good health

Same here

Sorry to hear that. For other readers That’s not the same for everyone as it definitely eliminated my anxiety and panic attacks. Started noticing a significant reduction in my anxiety after 2 weeks.

Works different for everyone example, it works great for my anxiety and depression, I can keep weight of and even loose weight on it

Prescribed for my sleep after Concerta all today

same here

Not sure. I would guess that it would need to be addressed on a case by case basis. For patients who are obese or have type 2 diabetes or dyslipidemia, it would probably be best to use a different antidepressant. But for those who must take mirtazapine, it would be good to discuss diet and exercise with the patient. My understanding is that antidepressant-induced weight gain is mostly caused by increasing the appetite of the patient. As long as calories in match calories out, weight gain and the impact of the drug on cholesterol levels and body fat should be avoidable. I do know some psych doctors who like to prescribe the weight loss drug, semaglutide, alongside drugs that cause weight gain (antipsychotics mostly). But obviously, not everyone has the coverage/funds for ozempic (semaglutide) or would want to start another drug.

That sounds reasonable! But As always, discuss with your healthcare provider!

Its important to note I have adhd noted by a neurologist and I was on meds until I hit puberty. Now its my first day on concerta

Hey how are you feeling?

I would still take it as usual. Don’t stop and start that’s not good for your body

@@97indianuk Thank you. Does a small dose cause weight gain?

@@amyn3001 probably a tiny bit, but it’s important to be as strong as you can and not give into cravings. Weight gain comes from the increased appetite

@@97indianuk Thanks for your input, Were you on 15mg or higher?

@@amyn3001 I’m on 15mg, been on it for 1 week so I just started. It depends what you’re taking it for. Is it depression, anxiety or difficulty sleeping?

Awful . Please google them before deciding to stay on them for years ! All the best

​@@MyBenzoHell that's why it's better the doctor gives you for 6 months or a year max, after that most are useless with negative effects.

I had no withdrawals after 2 years of use.

100% I'm on 30 mg but even 15 is enough. I usually ate 1-2 meals a day and had a stable weight of 78 kg. after 6 weeks it's 80. 20 minutes after you take the pill hunger sets in. the only solution is to have your meal after taking the pill. but eating late at night and then sleeping.... well that's also not going be good to help you keep trim.

How did u get on taking it as PRN

@@danh2310 Actually it doesn't work for me if I take it more than 3-4 days in a row. So I basically take it whenever I want to sleep (couple times a month) and it works instantly, I fell asleep in 30 mins.

@Light00121 yeah the sedation effect wears off quite fast although it helped me with my insomnia around the 6 week mark but I gave myself sleep anxiety I was worried all day thinking about another bad night. Must of lowered the anxiety

@@danh2310 I feel you. TBH it also made me depressed... Have you tried anything else that has helped you with insomnia?

@Light00121 I really need to try cbti to change by thoughts and behaviour. I'm on week 8 of mirtazapine have good and bad days I had 300mg of pregablin yesterday afternoon then my mirtazapine at 9pm I slept like a baby. Don't want to be reliant on drugs. But if I can't beat insomnia I'd rather take drugs and sleep

Hei can I ask did it helps you ? I'm on this medication 3 weeks and don't fell antydepresant effects and I'm very tired about panic attacks 🥲

@arron frederick Anyone can get type two diabetes mate.

@arron frederick mate. You’re talking rubbish. You can get diabetes even if it’s not genetic. I’ve known people who have got type two diabetes and have no family history. Ask any doctor.

@arron frederick So if I go on a sugar diet and and become 14 stone overweight, I won’t get diabetes?

A lot of antidepressants cause diabetes

@@eileendoherty2836 Why?

Does it affect your sex drive? Delayed ejac?

​@@EE-ie9gm no it does not effect your sexual health

Ok thank you i will ❤️

Wish you were my doctor. There is huge stigma against benzodiazepine. I got put on mirtazepine and 6 weeks in i don't know. I suffered from mainly insomnia and delayed sleep phase syndrome. Used Z drugs for 10 years and they lost some of their effectiveness. I need 1.5 pills to sleep. Due to that concern I went to a psychiatrist. My mood after 6 weeks is maybe 10% better I feel a bit off like this isn't it. I gained 2 kg as well. But the sedative effects are non-existent after 2 weeks. I take the tablet 2x15 mg 20 minutes late basically no change in cognition or any sedation but I get hungry even if I had a big dinner 2 hours ago. It feels like a hunger stimulant 4 days after starting mirtazepine + duloxetine as advised I got my first ever panic attacks so now I'm using zopiclone twice per day to calm down and sleep. Before my first visit to the psych doctor I always used the zopiclone pills between 23:00 and 1:00 am to sleep depending on what time i planned to get up and never felt I NEEDED or CRAVED it. Now I'm using zopiclone to terminate panic attacks at 18:00 and again at 23:00 for sleep. Feels really bad to use them like that. and I know SSRI's are the cause because the symptoms started exactly when I started using them. Upon discontinuing duloxetine after 4 days my panic resolved by about 70% but 30% is still here. I will continue becuase my doctor said 4-6 weeks results should be seen. It's been about 5 weeks now Considering alprazolam but they say it's super addictive and bad. Any advice? cause I got to a psych doctor here it's 5 minutes and bam here's your perscription.
