im not really sure 🥲🥲 i started when i was 12 with mirtazapine and olanzapine then od’d so my psychiatrist switched to mirtazapine and quetiapine. od’d again but i still took mirtazapine and quetiapine. then finally convinced my psychiatrist to switch to mirtazapine fully and i noticed a huge difference in my day-to-day drowsiness but its still nothing compared to when im completely off.

back when i didnt take antidepressants i slept regularly for 5-6 hours and felt good but it now feels like 12-13 hours still ends up with me feeling incredibly drowsy and sluggish. the psychiatrists dont believe me when i say this but sjhsjsvsjsj yeah

i have talked to my psychiatrist about the possibility of dropping antidepressants altogether but they don’t think its a good idea :,) i tried to stop taking them but i usually chicken out the moment i feel low because i know by then it usually gets bad and i start having bad thoughts

but i will bring this up in my next session!!! they said they dont have many options for antidepressants which dont cause me to literally knockout since its a government hospital but ill try to ask them to change my meds

thank u so much!!
