I have never taken any sort of anti depressants, so I can't really comment but if it was me I would have done just as you have and contacted my doctor again.

I do hope your feeling better soon.

Something at the back of my mind says that trying to keep active gets them out of your system quicker.

It would if she can. They are very powerful, and usually send me to sleep within 30 minutes of taking them. They do leave you feeling very groggy for a while after.

One thing you can't do is drink alcohol whilst taking them, you literally go off your head. I've learnt my lesson now, and stop taking them two days before I'm going out.

the doctors just called and he's written me a prescription for some different anti depressants, something beginning with fl , couldnt make out what they where actually called, so i'll go pick that up sometime tomorrow, apparently the one's the other doctor gave me had some sort of sedative in them

They sounded a bit iffy to me, see how you go with the new ones!!

flashy · 30-10-2007, 18:41

thanx Bernie, he said the new ones are in the same 'family' as the citalopram i was taking, so i'll try them

jimmi5bellies · 30-10-2007, 18:58

Wow, i take 50mg Amitriptyline at night and they dont always work.

flashy · 30-10-2007, 19:01

good god jimmi, thats a high dosage

jimmi5bellies · 30-10-2007, 19:08

They are needed to relax my muscles and joints after the accident. I can take them at 10pm and still be wide awake at 1am.

, have tried taking them earlier but still dont send me drowsy.

flashy · 30-10-2007, 19:34

get to the docs and tell him/her about it

mez · 30-10-2007, 19:37

just wondering if there is any coedine in them because im grossly allergic to it, after 1 tablet i sing & dance then crash out for 4 days sleep leaving me weary for at least 3 days after ...

Are they Fluoxetine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mirtazapine are for major depression and aren't generally used first line, 15mg is the correct starting dose usually increased to 30mg within 2-4 weeks, doesn't sound like they're right for you though Shaz. Dr has quite a few others he could choose but the two starting with flu are Fluoxetine (Prozac) and Fluvoxamine (Faverin) that are in the same class has Citalopram. PM me Shaz if you need any info.
