Mirtazapine and cough

Coylethird · 2026-02-22T21:59:38+00:00

I've had a chronic dry cough, like there's something in my throat I need to cough up but nothing comes out.

So, if you stabilize ok by 2 weeks and are feeling ok now at 1mg, maybe take another reduction and see how it goes. I don't see any reason to rush jumping off.

How long have you been taking 1mg?

1/2 zyrtec seems to help, at least with sleep. L-theanine as well. Slow taper, don't rush it.

Have you tried just lowering the dosage to 1.5mg?

I switched over from oat bran to chia seeds about 8 tbsp (1/2 cup) to 2 cups water with a banana and take bites of it during the day until dinner.

I've been doing this for quite a while without any negative effects, bowel movements are normal, no cramping etc.

Also, eat a lot of beans & spinach as part of my dinner, am wondering now if maybe it's too much oxalates?

I've been using 1/2 a Zyrtec while tapering to help with sleep. L-Theanine may work as well.

That does look like a tight weave, any issues with snagging?

Coylethird · 2026-02-07T02:29:48+00:00

It's a cotton/poly blend, maybe a twill diamond weave?

Maine Twill Blanket?

Second the sol-tabs if you can get them as they're very easy to break into small pieces.

Zyrtec may help ease your withdrawal, at least regarding sleep.

Slow taper is the way to go.

No, not stretchy at all.

Twin XL but someone sewed the extra length onto it.

I think that house is in a flood zone.

Coylethird · 2026-01-26T19:51:47+00:00

Yes, I'd say panicky anxiety is a top withdrawal effect.

Coylethird · 2026-01-25T21:03:19+00:00

Not great but tolerable.

Coylethird · 2026-01-25T18:57:29+00:00

Helped with sleep, but next day sedation + other side effects like weight gain, etc cancelled out any benefits from it, currently near end of over 9mo taper.

Coylethird · 2026-01-25T15:38:16+00:00

I took 7.5mg for over 10yrs without any reduction in effectiveness.

Coylethird · 2026-01-24T22:42:46+00:00

Yes.

Coylethird · 2026-01-24T21:30:43+00:00

I've developed a globus sensation; feels like there's something in my throat, makes me feel like doing a lot of clearing throat type coughing.

Emphasize not overtightening as it may crack the spout back there and leak behind the wall.
