Anyone Heard of This??

Hello, I'm new and don't know where to post this.  Maybe someone here can help?  Am really suffering.

 

Was stable on small amount klonopin and occasional ambien.  More occasional lyrica.  Then took 6 week of mirtazapine and sick as a dog (see sig)

 

I have been ill since Jan 1 now.  Drs. say mirtazapine can'd do this... also that benzos can't do this.  They want me to take more.

 

At the time mirtazapine seemed to ruin my brain, was on .25 klonopin was not really tapering then but holding.

 

Thanks for any insight.  Have had zero mirtazapine for months now.

Hi BarbaraAve ...  I'm no expert but it sounds like you had an adverse reaction to the Remeron.  How doctors don't consider that possibility, I do not know.  :idiot:

 

The doctors said benzo's can't do what?  Fry your brains and body?  Cause dementia?  I beg to differ.

 

Welcome to BB, I hope you get better soon.

Thanks.  Yes, nothing I was on/am on could cause my symptoms.

There was no point arguing.

 

When do see g.p dr., will have him run some tests to rule things out (Lyme disease, I don't know what else)... but since if I take something I feel better, and don't take feel worse, seems a moot point.

 

Would you think post mirtazapine I'd go back to former baseline on the bit of klon??  That's what I waited for... for months....

 

  Meanwhile I did go to valium (and even less klon)... seemed better for day or two.  I  did not want to rock the boat much since feeling awful and not stable.

 

Yesterday's psych. said double dose of valium and take lyrica--  every day for a month.

 

Yeah, right...
