I need help pleasse

I am so sorry to hear about your condition worsening! Unfortunately I don't know any professionals in Spain. Does your current doctor help at all? What is his/her explanation for your condition? How long have you been feeling like this and did you change your dose recently? Is there a friend or family members you can contact if you need to? It should get better if you wait long enough but I fully understand that it feels impossible!

Hi Nieves, What exactly has been changed about your dose over the past 3–6 months?

Oh, Nieves, I'm so sorry to hear this. Mirt is my poison, too, and I've been kindled on it before, though what you're going through sounds even more severe than what I experienced. As Duloxi said, can you please give us some more details: your dose, your recent drops and what kind of schedule? The trouble with kindling is you can't really make considered risk a move, at least not as far as the drug goes, because it makes things very unpredictable. Going up could help, but could also make matters worse, and you definitely won't be going down any more anytime soon. But, again, more details will give us a clearer picture. Meanwhile, I totally understand how desperate you must be feeling, but I want to say two things: be careful with psychiatrists - like GPs; few of them have a clue about what we're dealing with, and their advice could make matters worse. I remember when I first tried to come off Mirt according to conventional instructions. I suffered weeks and weeks of debilitating discontinuation syndrome symptoms and went to a psychiatrist for advice. They saw a highly anxious WD mess before them and seemingly didn't even consider that I might be in WD and that perhaps reinstating at the previous or lower dose might be a good move - their genius and strongly worded suggestion was to go on Paxil: an AD even harder to get off than Mirt. I shudder to think what would have become of me would have happened if I'd followed that advice. Thankfully, I have just enough healthy scepticism re the weaknesses of mainstream medicine and had just enough sanity left to not heed that advice. Soon after, I found SA and realised I needed to reinstate Mirt. There might be a few good ones out there who have a handle on things, but I suspect you'll find more help here and in other places. Two tips for now: you need to eat and drink - if you have no sensation of that, write down a schedule and follow it as best you can without waiting for those signals to motivate you e.g., a cup of tea when you wake up, a glass of water every couple of hours and small meals of easy-to-eat foods like yogurt, pasta etc., whatever you can face, 4-6 times a day (this will help your adrenals, which are likely in shock, to settle down). I do know how hard it can be to eat when Mirt WD strips your appetite away, but you can do it. For sleep, that's a tough one, as I know from experience Mirt rebound insomnia is savage and little tames it, but there are things that might take the edge off a bit, and your GP can prescribe stuff that might help you get through. What have you tried to date?

Hi Nieves, This will get better. Your brain is trying to stabilise after a some big shocks and it hurts, a lot! Use this hurt to make you more determined to get through this. Share your dose history and let us guide you. I would be sceptical of approaching a Dr, especially if they try and put you on more drugs. This will pass, you just need to stabilise.

I haven't taken mirtazapine for two months now. I had an adverse reaction to it, and my brain has become stuck in a dysfunctional state. I have no signals for hunger or thirst, and zero emotions—not even negative ones. All of this started with mirtazapine and didn't go away when I stopped taking it, on top of a host of physical problems. I wouldn't go back to mirtazapine; it never helped me, it only harmed me. I was told I should just tough it out, and that was a huge mistake. Sleep problems also appeared with mirtazapine—I used to sleep wonderfully, but the drug took away my body's signal that I was tired. I wonder if there is any medication that could help with this without causing further harm due to the kindling phenomenon; I have three children who need me.

You still need to share; What dose you took, How long for? Did you stop cold turkey or taper? Mirtazapine is seriously powerful drug, but so you is your body's adrenaline. Its job is to keep you safe by keeping you hyper alert and stemming your appetite. You have no conscious control over this, it's all sub conscious. Once the cause of your anxiety is resolved or you understand what is happening and why, you won't be as scared and the anxiety will ease.

@Cosmic1973 I started at 7.5, and after two weeks I began tapering; I don't remember exactly where I stopped. I don't have anxiety. Nothing—zero. I can't feel anything, neither good nor bad. I was on it for a total of three and a half months; all the symptoms I have now started around the third day. It’s as if there were no adrenaline. There’s no withdrawal either; it’s like being in a trapped state of mind.
