Doctors want to tell patients what to do but have never done it themselves........

I'm on this crap now 6 years. Would love to get off it. It's sad that doctors don't suggest natural alternatives for depression and anxiety. Again i guess the whole system is about $$$$$.

Thanks for such a comprehensive essay on Remeron or Mirtizapine as we call it in the UK. The detail on how it affects the reward center in the brain is very helpful. Was on 30mg daily for almost 2 years for anxiety and migraines. Tapered down to 15mg for x2 weeks, then 7.5mg for x1 week and now on day 4 without any. Its difficult. Sleep is ok but have a constant headache, nausea and lethargic. Its hard but the side effects arent worth it.

Anyone else experiencing extreme fatigue from withdrawals ?

Im 3 weeks mirtazipine free after 5 years on 40 mg Struggling like hell

Remeron withdrawal is so bad

The stuff is hell

I hope your channel grows and people listen. Love the information you provide. I tried this drug. Only 1 pill but side effects were horrible. You may not like benzos but I find after many many years of using them the side effects are much less. No dry eyes or eye floaters. No weight gain or eating things I normally wouldn't. Heart issues and back pain are awful. Never had any issues with benzos compared to any psych drugs. I am in fact anti anti depressants. I was prescribed seroquel 600 mgs for sleep. I nearly died. Pancreas attacks and my GB was removed. Basically I was drunk and eating leaving the stove on and fridge open. This drug made me feel just like seroquel. After stopping the seroquel cold turkey my eye floaters went away. 1 pill of mirtazapine and already have an eye floaters again. Heart issues. I will never understand why ppl take these drugs. Certainly takes our individuality away.

I was on 15mg for 5 years. Ended up at urgent care after only tapering off for a month cause the nausea, dizziness, impaired kidney/liver function were not fun. Now I’m on month 5 of coming off it and at the end of the month I should be free from it! Sleep hasn’t been a huge issue for me but not being able to eat due to the nausea sure has!

I took 15mg Mertazapine for 5 years. I stopped taking it exactly 3 months ago after advice from a pharmacist to reduce my dose over about a month before stopping. I had never heard of tapering to discontinue till recently and now wish I had. I have had insomnia from day 1. I am experiencing brain zaps and a weird sensation throughout my central nervous system which I cannot explain but the sleep is the main issue though. I generally get to sleep okay but wake between 2:30 and 3am - pop wide awake and just cannot get back to sleep. Occasionally I lay in bed wide awake all night. I’ve tried magnesium glycanate supp’s, valerian supps and Nytol (antihistamine). The Nytol works but leaves me a massive headache the entire next day and extreme dizziness when I sit to stand. I’ve even tried a low histamine diet as I eat a lot of soy products being vegetarian but this didn’t help either. My GP has been a complete waste of time and basically implied it is all in my head and that mertazapine withdrawal shouldn’t affect you when it’s all out of your system in a week or two. From reading and youtube I understand the cause of the withdrawal symptoms but cannot find anything that helps my sleep problem and I am not willing to restart Mertazapine and slowly taper. No way! I’d love to know how long I can expect this horrendous withdrawal to last as it doesn’t seem to be improving whatsoever at 3 months.

Why does this medication cause me to have the worst RLS(Restless Leg Syndrome)?

Thank you for this, someone actually knowledgeable about this drug. All doctors I’ve spoken to don’t seem to understand how a lower dose causes more sedation, thus it cannot be tapered as a normal antidepressant

Im 3 days cold turkey, and it’s so horrible. No doctors help because i can’t get through due to covid restrictions. I will do this!!! I have zero appetite but just blending healthy food into my protein shake. This is the worse I’ve ever felt in my own life. If only this doctor was available in the uk. 👍🏼

I was on several mental health meds for Depression, Bi Polar. Mirtazapine, Librium, Fluoxetine, Gabapentin, Buspirione to name a few. I was taking 26 meds a day at one point. I was having so many side effects from them I just stopped taking all of them. I didn't know I shouldn't have just stopped without tapering. I had no effects. The side effects were more than I could stand and the doctors were terrible. Poor listeners

I'm on ciprolex and mirtazipine. I went 6 days without my medication because I couldn't get my prescription filled. Omg... the brain fog and shortness of breath was horrible. I felt like a zombie. The anxiety, shakes, cold sweats... I'll never let that happen again!

Is it ok to take remeron only occasionally for sleeping like doctors say it is with trazodone or quetiapin?

I have been on 30mg mirtazapine for over 10 years. Don't think i could ever give it up now!!

My doctor is that oblivious to the drug she actually told me I might need to take it for the rest of my life, her exact words were "It's like if you're a diabetic, and you may need to take it for the rest of you're life"...

I have been on this for around 15 years. I'm on 45 mg day. I want to wean off, my dtr advised me better to stay on it due to my high anxiety, deppresion.so not sure what to do as I really want to be off medication

early intervention with natural therapies work. left too late, the meds can turn ship around (after enduring awful side effects) and after at least 6 months transition off to natural can hold it there but not always! some brains just keep going back to how they were before and if we knew what it needed to stop that, it probably wouldn't.

this is great.. i've been on them for years and i don't like the side effects at all... i'm gonna taper down

Hi is there any advice for any supplement to take?as i need to stop benzos for insomnia

Very informative video mate. I am researching this drug as I have gone through a 3.5year withdrawal so far!!!!!!. From "only'' a H1 antagonist!!!!! *Probably* Not too far from being functional again. I was on 4mg-10mg for one year and was told this low does would not cause long term withdrawal. AHahahhahahaha What a load of BS that was, In fact the low doses are harder to withdraw off because of the sedation. Many Doctors just don't listen, and seem to deflect from any claim that links injury to the med.🤦‍♂ useful drug if used strategically or short term use.

What about taking Pristiq and Buspar whilst tapering? Will the combination of the two help with withdrawals?

Is there any safe meds for anxiety? I cannot handle all these meds. I ended up in ICU from effexir. Dies that mean system poisoned. I never had seizures before all this. How do I clean system of all this? I still feel paralyzed from Gabapentin.

My doctor want me to cold Turkey quit because of some serious side effects and start Wellbutrin not sure what to do …

Wow! Great video! I can tell you know what you're talking about. New subscriber :)

Remeron or Mirtazapine has truly ruined my life…. It is almost impossible to stop taking… Absolutely horrible side effects.. 5 years of my life so far is gone..

I was once on this on 30mg for quite a while and stopped cold turkey without an issue. I am now again on it, but only for insomnia caused by stopping Olanzapine. I only take 7.5mg, but people say it can be harder to withdraw from on low dosage? Is this true? If so, then I'd like to be on higher dosage of course. Thanks for any help I can get. :)

I was on this for 3 months 30 mg then 15 mg and I stopped taking it a month ago and now I don't sleep well and am so tired all the time I don't feel like doing anything. I don't know if its the winter blues but its bad. I got my blood tested and all levels look ok so I don't have any idea how to get back to myself again. I need my energy back!! my busy season is a month away. any advice will be appreciated tia

Please please I’m so scared to stop taking the 15 mg of this drug because I’ve been taking it for 25 plus years with 25 mg trazadone. How do I get off this as I heard it’s terrifying to get off of. Started taking it because of insomnia and my past divorce. I’m 61 female and so happy with my new life on my homestead. Like I said I’m taking 15 mg. I want to live a natural life now. My recent very young doctor said I’m going to have a hard time because of all the years . What am I going to do

im 9 weeks off.my moid keeps dropping.im so tired...im sleeping but not all night...im eating and trying to do daily stuff but struggling really bad...the noises in my head are sending me daft(doesnt stop) my whole body is,aching and the headaches,are bad....what can i take to ease this.....i was on this drug for just under 4 month...from 15mg to 30mg then back to 15mg

They give this shit out in jail everyday🤡 if it’s givin out in jail… it’s no good 😂😂😂

Remeron withdrawl was worse than heroin I threw up ever day for weeks

this drug is really hard. 7.5mg is enough

I know a lot of you are here looking for answers because you’re scared or you’re feeling like death coming off Mertazapine. Please listen to me, it took my over a year to get off this stuff and I went cold turkey. DO NOT go cold turkey. Ween off, Prozac WILL help if you take that edge off to make up for some of the lost Seratonin your body stopped producing. You’ll make it to the other side. Taper off with the Prozac assistance.

Can I take Gabapentin for withdrawal from seroquel ??
