I am currently on 50mg of Citalopran, taking 25mg for the next couple of days until next Wednesdays when I'll start Mirtazipin 30mg.
I went from Mirtazapine 30MG which was really good for anxiety and it gives you a brilliant sleep. The flip side is you become rather apathetic to everything and feel pretty detached from reality. It also made me put on a tonne of weight, but that doesn't go for everyone. I've just been moved to Citalopram and the tapering period was a nightmare with insomnia, cold sweats and the shakes. The Cit is now settled down but it isn't a patch on Mirtazapine.
The first day you take the 30MG Mirt, prepare for a LONG snooze.
I wish you the best, i know these meds take patience and are largely trial and error until the find the one for you. I've still to reach that point but hopefully you will find what you need from them soon.

thanks for your insight, they said I should take the Mirt tonight at 9pm while in bed already and that it would hit me hard, so quite anxious about that actually.
Good luck further on with the Cit, the tapering effects are bad enough but once you reduce your dose to move onto something else, it'll be the same all over again, but worse (for me at least).
Tonight's the night for me with Mirt, hopefully will be reporting back tomorrow with news of how it went.
Fingers crossed.
Don't worry about the Mirt tonight, the first time you take it is actually really nice because it gives you a welcome solid sleep with no restlessness or nightmares.
The first time i taken one i had it at 7pm, i was fighting the sleep by 8pm, fast asleep by 8:30pm. I managed to wake up the next day around noon, went for a shower and fell back asleep in the shower. You get used to it pretty quick though, so by the 4th or 5th day you will have a decent sleep pattern.

And here's the update, took the Mirtazapine at about half past ten last night, fighting sleep at ten, then I don't remember much till I overheard my alarm this morning and overslept.
Been walking through a haze all day, not really feeling any kind of emotion.
Nice for a change.
How's PH been doing today ?

Hi all,
I left the clinic yesterday and am staying in Würzburg until Sunday morning with my girlfriend, so if anyone is from around here, let's have a beer tonight!
Am getting used to the Mirt, but the dopiness is very present. I take about half day to really wake up, so all morning until late afternoon is like walking through mist, it's very bizarre.
The bulls
tter thread is amazing, had to laugh quite a few times!
Cheers!

NeMiSis, full freedom release, I do have to check in with them every day as there is a concern I might attempt suicide again. To be honest, the real world is frightening and having spent 3 months in a bubble it's very frightening, though the thought of killing myself frightens me more currently.
Spike, thanks mate I shall keep this thread updated with how it is back out here in the real madhouse.
So far I'm very disoriented and have trouble focusing on the simple things - it's like I am overwhelmed by the vastness of the world outside, like it's all too much.
