- "You're Not Alone” is a video series was inspired by Little Kuriboh's video series "We're Still Here". I am recording my experiences that led me to depression, stress, and anxiety in hopes to show others that they are not alone, and that there is a different perspective to all of this.

I stopped after 6 days. Made me weird and depressed. Also tired and sluggish. Feel relieved to be back in control of my self. It didn’t help me sleep, either.
The withdrawal from mirtazapine made me feel like messed up for months, hang in there bro you can get through this.
I'm on mirtazapine currently, was originally on 15mg and it knocked me out the first night. After several weeks of oversleeping and generally not seeing improvement I told my doc who then told me to up my dose to 30mg. He said there was a threshold with mirtazapine where more is less and I'd be less drowsy/sleepy on 30. it's only been a couple days since upping the dose and I'm super erratic and hot headed but that could be due to other factors/medications... Did you have vivid dreams? Each night I practically confused dream for reality and it can be alarming. I don't know if the decisions I'm making are "sane" either, kinda feel like an outsider peering in and watching some crazy person. Considering getting off of it but going to give it 1 more week. Thanks for the helpful information!
Hey sorry for the late message, (3 years too late whoops), but I don't really remember having vivid dreams. My main concerns or things I really noticed was the twitching and spasming every so often.
On 30 mgs for 3 yrs now and I wish I had never been put on it. I gained 75 lbs I didn't need. I was at a healthy weight, but now obese. I also have memory problems on it. After many failed trials of antidepressants, it was the only medication that helped with my social phobia. After some major setbacks, this drug isn't doing it, but even my Dr doesn't know what else to put me on since it's an atypical antidepressant and a stronger class of meds would likely cause more weight gain and more serious side effects. So now I feel disgusting about myself bc of my weight and I am more down and lonely than I was yrs ago.
mirtazapine cause memory problems or difficulties to study and focus? I am in the 6 day. And I'm very afraid. I already felt that I had gained weight, but that does not affect me. Thank you. God bless
I only took mirtazapine for a week and i experienced nothing in regards to memory problems or difficulty focusing. The only thing I experienced was twitching side effects and I had to stop it completely. IF you have any problems or concerns regarding medication talk to your doctor about it. They are always there to help you with any concerns that you have. Thanks for the comment and I hope you have a wonderful day.
I agree with the video. It's supposed to help with sleep, but just made me want to sleep a lot during the day but it never helped me fall asleep at night. Nevertheless, I think this drug is good to try before benzos or SSRIs because those are messed up!
Your not supposed to just abruptly stop, need to taper it slowly off.
Did you ever find something that could help you sleep and stuff?
Hi! Yeah I bought some melatonin pills and it helps a lot! You can buy that at drug stores!
David Kriner that was it?
@@mikaelsanchez7258 yeah. Melatonin is something the brain produces naturally so these pills will increase this chemical that helps you fall asleep. I never had to take anything else but that's just me. If this doesn't work then consult a doctor about taking a stronger form or it or getting something different.
You were on mirtazapine for a bit no?
@@mikaelsanchez7258 Yes I was! It was short lived due to me experiencing eye twitching. I am currently on Adderall with melatonin only if I have trouble sleeping.
took me a long time to adapt to this medication but after weeks of drowsiness and other side effects i think it's starting to work, ive got more energy now so i plan to eat well, exercise and then eventually taper off it. .
Hey just wondering did you stay on it and did you taper off it at any stage?
chris hutchinson came off them during lockdown, went from 45 to 30 to 15 to 7mgs then off them totally over the course of a month, thought it would be a good time to try and get off them whilst not working but within a couple of months I had to go back on them, I thought I was doing good without them but slowly my symptoms returned IE my sleep was terrible, I was tired, irritable, generally depressed and was getting bad depersonalization/derealisation so I made the decision to go back on mirtazapine and within a couple of weeks I felt better again, I’ll probably have to stay on mirtazapine for at least a year now before attempting to taper again.
@@HuxleyWasRight that's interesting. Did you have all these symptoms before you started mirtazapine including depersonilization?
All my mental health problems started in March this year with a panic after smoking weed. I've went on a downward spiral of anxiety and depression including depersonilization /derealization.
I was on sertraline for a bit but it was making me worse so GP put me on 30mg mirtazapine. I took 1/4 of a 30mg the other night and was wasted for a couple of days. Couldn't believe such a small amount could do that so am freaked out about taking 30mg. Although I've read its less sedating at higher dose.
Have also read horror stories about coming off mirtazapine but I guess you only hear the bad stories and not the good ones.
Glad it's working for you. Gives me some hope 👍
chris hutchinson yes I had these symptoms before starting so I guess mirtazapine fixes something in me which lessens the symptoms quite considerably, They do properly whack you out to begin with but after a week or two that effect fades, one thing they do for me is make me want to do stuff, I’d lost a lot of motivation and they have restored it to a degree, They definitely help me sleep 7+ hours a night, I actually think many of my issues come from a lack of sleep, when I’m not on them I was only getting 4-5 hours a night.
I don’t think I had withdrawals I just think my old symptoms re-emerged and I relapsed, think I had dry mouth and some palpitations when I came off them completely but nothing overwhelming.
chris hutchinson have you seen the film “numb” with Matthew perry in ? The film is about someone who experiences depersonalization after smoking weed. It’s not a great film but is worth watching is you have this disorder, many people get it after smoking pot.
Bro I was taking three 30mg mirtazapine a night for near on 4 years and other that the muscle twitches' and it ability to stop weed having any affect on me I experienced no withdrawals at all. Gone back to weed and it now works again. It's great
you were taking 90mg a day ? i thought the top end was 45 ?
So do which one helps you weed or mirtazapine?
@@HuxleyWasRight He specifically said he was taking 30mg a day (not 90mg).
