Hi everybody!Yesterday was my 10th day off mirtazapine, after almost 4 years taking it. Mirtazapine was just the last on a list of 20+ other strong medicines I have been taking the last 10 years, so these are the first 10 clean days of the past decade. I have been longing for these days for 2 years, but now they are just hell. Never worse than now.
Every morning I wake up between 4pm and 7pm with pressure in my chest, heat in my throat, difficulty to breath, occasionally palpitations. The thing in the throat slowly becomes an acute pain, which migrates also to the head. In a few hours the pain dissipates, giving place to heavy abdominal cramp, burning chest and throat and arms and legs, dizziness, depression, extreme anxiety... All the morning I am not able to work, due to the lack of concentration and anxiety. Usually I get a little better slowly, just to go to bed and wait for the next attack.
My question is whether anyone out there experienced something like this in relation to mirtazapine withdrawal. Or would it be rather a consequence of that long list (Klonopin, Stilnox, Efexor, Trileptal, Welbutrin, Tryptanol, Topamax, Risperdal )?
Thanks for any information.
Bob
