I GOT PRESCRIBED "MIRTAZAPINE 30mg nocte" which means one pill at night. Almost felt too frozen-up to bother going to the doctors at all and had to vanquish the desire to flee at several points in the waiting room. I took it last night and yes it does make me dream (this did swing the decision on whether or not to bother asking for it, I have to admit but it's not the ONLY reason). As for being exhausted the dr said this is only normal if you are depressed. Mirtazapine is also known as Zispin in the UK & Ireland and Remeron in the US and some other countries. I have been trying not to be sulky and peed-off all week but cannot keep it up. But why take even MORE chemicals when I'm addicted enough as it is (mirtazapine is supposedly non-addictive btw)? "To address the despair underlying and resulting from my drug addiction."

ReplyDeleteHi Gledwood, just discovered your blog and I'm impressed, both because it is corageous to come out with your addiction and because you seem to be very sound of mind in spite of that. I've given you a link and hope you'll reciprocate. ciao and best luck
ReplyDeletehi Gled!!!
ReplyDeletei haven´t got much time latelly, so that`s the reason i haven`t write here.
i remember taking those same pills,and i must admit that they are a really powerfull drug, it putted me asleep for almost a day, so i stopped taking...
but i hope you`re feeling better and less tired!!! kisses!!!
Hi Gleds ~~ I hope the new pills
ReplyDeletehelp you feel better and you may not need them for too long. I do hope you
soon will feel happier and less tired. Take care, my friend.
Very Best wishes, Merle.
You did the right thing by going to the doctor. I do hope the tablets improve your outlook. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope the pills help you mate. For some reason I didn't know you were depressed. maybe cuz you don't really sound it through your blog. You actually sound rather happy usually I think.
ReplyDeleteDear Gledwood,
ReplyDeleteI found your post on an old blog of mine (something to do with Ann Coulter.)
My brother died of a heroin overdose and I found him that day... he was my precious baby brother. He died way too young -- in his 30's.
I am sober 13 years through spiritual surrender. The most amazing years of my life. I pray you find peace..
Love
Lydia
HiThere~~

Lydia: I'm sorry about your brother. I know loads of people who are no longer with us :-<...

I can certainly attest that depression exhausts one. I was once exhausted for 3 years.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon, Gleds.
