Hey Guys, just picked up this thread, and read all the posts with interest.. sounds like your all going thro' a tough time...I've suffered from panic attacks, anxiety and stuff for a couple of years and have been on 20mg of lexapro for just over 12mths, and 30mg mirtazapine for 15mths.. Over the last 4-5mths i've been a alot better in myself, and after reading various stuff on the net decided that this can't be right takin' all these drugs and suppressing the way your brain works. 8 weeks ago i cut the dose of lexapro too 10mg, and then 10 days ago missed 2 days in a row just out of forgetfulness more than anything! But i thought this an ideal time too kick the lexapro! The first 5 or 6 days were tough, serious dizzy spells and brain zaps!! but i just stuck it out and toughed it out.. It's been 10 days since my last lexapro, and the last day or two i've been alot better, not as dizzy, and feeling more like myself.
I'm still taking 30mg mirtazapine at bedtime, but in a few weeks i'm gonna kick this med as well. Just going too hit it head on, 15mg for a few weeks, and see how it goes.... when i've accidentally missed a dose of mirtazapine i've experienced the crazy dreams, and insomnia you've all been experiencing!! Ain't lookin forward too that, but I'm definately gonna kick this med stuff, and sort myself out naturally... it just ain't good for ya.... It will be of help too hear how you all are doin' so keep postin'... regards from England.. Cashy72..
