I really need help with extreme anxiety, will mirtazepine help.So frightened

[[ch...]]

I am getting so desperate for relief from Valium withdrawal, at 2.5mgs and cannot cope. I do not want to go back up again as it has not helped. I am now thinking it's time to try an antidepressant as I cannot go on this way, and I need to able to continue to taper off the Valium I have been on for 10 months now.

 

I am agoraphobic and bed bound, struggle to eat because of the severe anxiety which has never been treated properly and have lost 30 lbs in weight. I really cant afford to lose more. I am coming up to 74 and this is all a great strain on my body.  Last night I resorted to my bible just to hang on as I don't want to die, but this is so bad and the psychiatrist and Doctors offer nothing, though I was told that if I wanted to try mirtazapine again I could give it a go. I tried it twice at the beginning but did not like the side effects. though now I wonder if those were from the Valium which I was not taking consistently and indeed the first time of taking Mirtazapine I had stopped the Valium for a week, not knowing any different.

Has  anyone had help from taking it, when in such a low state and in terrible anxiety. I don't know what else to do

 

Experiences anyone of taking it whilst tapering Valium?

 

Help please. I really need help and don't know which way to turn

 

 

Thank you to all

I started super low dose (3.75-7.5 mg) at about 5 months off for sleep and anxiety. It has helped quite a bit.

Benzo and mirtazapine ruined my life. I would never take it. Almost 3 years off benzo and 1 yeas off mirtazapine still suffering badly, not able to work, severe anxiety burning head scalp, severe  headache 24/7  for over 3 years.

I never had any depression or anxiety before this hell. I got Clonazepam for sleeping bc I was going trough peri menapouse.  Never ever thought I will end up hell like this, completely sick with severe pain all over my body, tinnitus and insomnia.

I hope you will make the right choice for yourself.

Love and healing

The only side effects I’ve noticed are some dry mouth and dry eyes in the morning and weight gain. The weight gain is good for me as I was norms weight to begin with and was dropping too low. It brought me back up to normal plus maybe 4-5 lbs extra that don’t bother me. I’ll take the sleep and reduced extreme anxiety for now, I have to function for my family.

Just FYI, withdrawal from Remeron can be nearly as bad as benzos. There is an entire support group dedicated to withdrawing from it.
