Is mirtazapine is like xanax?
Mirtazapine aka: Remeron -- is only 'like' Xanax is that it can control anxiety. It is a tetracyclic antidepressant. It is very effective at many things,.. if you were prescribed this , I would give it a chance. The biggest 'complaint' of this medication is weight gain.. so just be aware this is possible and perhaps watch if you begin to crave more food than normal, etc. Take care,
Mirtazapine - weight gain?
Yes! Its a very known fact that your doctor should have let you know about. I personally starting 30mg a night, then 45, then 60mg. I didn't realize it at the time either, but recently i felt i could back off of it. Now i just dropped back to 30. What didn't realize until after the fact is that i was sleeping at least4-6 more than normal and i was slowly putting on the weight. Just from going from 60mg to 30, within 3 weeks to a month and a half. Every individual has their own unique metabolism though. Don't get me wrong, Remeron (mirtazapine) is a great med; not only for depression but sleep and anxiety also. I would just recommend that if these changes are extreme, I would just try to tapper off to a lower dosage if you're mental state is able to handle it. I still take 30 every night, and do see many benefits of it. I hope this helps!
Mirtazapine and bed wetting?
I recently started on 30mg mirtazapine for various mental health issues. However, I have started noticing that at least twice a week I am wetting the bed. It's extremely embarrassing and I am beginning to worry about it as I'm 17 years old and I stay at other people's houses quite a lot. Does anyone else have similar problems? And if so, how do I prevent it?
Can I take herbal diet pills with Mirtazapine?
I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes. Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight. First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising... This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart. However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day. Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.
What would happen if someone overdosed on Mirtazapine and Olanzapine?
They’d get dizzy, uncoordinated, incoherent, very sleepy, and they’d pass out. It would not be pleasant. There’s nothing fun or pleasant about taking Olanzapine, and the only use of taking a bit more mirtazapine than prescribed would be to have a dizzy spell followed by sleep. I’d imagine it’d be a confusing experience that would make you clumsy.Anyone prescribed these two drugs together has severe depression and psychotic symptoms. This person may well feel suicidal anyway, and these may well be the only drugs they have access to.If this person is seriously considering suicide, the official advice is ring emergency services. Alternatively there’s the non-emergency services which is toll free and in USA is 1-866-418-1002 and in UK is 111.
I took 6 mirtazapine pills (30mg), should I be worried?
Context: I'm a final year pharmacy student with personal experience of mirtazapine. I guess I should also say uh, this isn't professional or medical advice, it's just me saying some words.First, a minor side note: the higher dose of mirtazapine you take, the less sedative it is. 15mg or 7.5mg or would be more effective as a sleeping aid than 30mg or 180mg. Not that one should take another person's prescription medicines -- I advise against it.You're right that mirtazapine is exceptionally merciful in overdose. This paper (Mirtazapine overdose is unlikely to cause major toxicity ) shows the absolutely minimal consequences faced by many individuals who took a lot more than you did. You are likely to be fine and the breathlessness is probably due to anxiety over the situation, but ideally I would still recommend a trip to the emergency room so they can monitor you and check you out.I echo Bill Stein in recommending that you seek support for the state of mind that led you to this scenario. I wish you the very best of luck in this.
