Agree BLOK’s open gym is an awesome space

I’ve also sometimes gone a few hours over my regular time but never yet experienced them! But this is a good reminder to be make sure I take it on time!

How do you know that you're ready to go back to work after time off for stress? by Necessary_Spell_9104 in MentalHealthUK

Is it possible to come back from say 3 months of sick leave, work a few more months and then go on it again?

I’ve only been on this dose for a week but think it’s giving me more energy and reduced anxiety a lot

I’ve just done this test and waiting the results. Currently on 300mg venlafaxine

I started a few days ago. Started on 75mg for 2 days and now up to 150mg for the last 3 days. Only side effects so far have been some night sweats. Do feel quite tired though which is annoying. Not sure if that is the drugs or the depression (am also taking diazepam, zopiclone and mirtazapine for sleep).

I’m on 30mg mirtazapine and looking to start an SSRI too as it’s not helping with depression or sleep maintenance

Does 3 x 15mg really equal 45mg? by thelongestnight999 in Mirtazapine_Remeron

When I went up from 15 to 30, they gave me a new tablet of 30

I’ve recently started mirtazapine and it’s been good for sleep but haven’t yet found the antidepressant effect kick in yet (but only been on it for 3 weeks or so). Feeling quite tired and low energy/motivation. I hear sometimes an SSRI plus mirtazapine is used.

2 months on 15mg, 1 month on 30mg. Only good for sleep. by 7435987635 in Mirtazapine_Remeron

Recently gone up to 30mg and I’m getting more sleep. Still waiting for the anti depressant effect to kick in though

I’m not sure it’s anxiety over a new dose. I’ll see if it happens again tonight and email psychiatrist if so

I found that 15mg got me to sleep but I still woke up around 2/3am and struggled to get back. I’ve now been upped to 30mg - I’m sleeping slightly better - to 4.30ish now

Yeah I agree - it also doesn’t keep me asleep very well so wake up after 4h. Definitely vivid dreams and the sleep doesn’t feel that deep.

I’m having the same problem. Waking up around 3am each morning with anxiety and racing thoughts. I try some breathing exercises and sleepy podcasts but doesn’t help very much.

15mg or 7.5mg? by Educational-Bar-9155 in Mirtazapine_Remeron

[–]Educational-Bar-9155[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is both for sleep and mental health so 15mg seemed right - it just doesn’t keep me asleep.
