Mood – Class
Hi. I’ve not been logging my entries here for a few days and it’s not for a bad reason. I’ve actually felt good!!! A side effect of me feeling good is I forget to write about my days. Anyway, I’ve been on Mirtazapine just over 1 month now so it has had a good while to unleash the full effects on me.
First couple of weeks was absolutely disgusting, I felt terrible, like a zombie. I didn’t feel awake, had dizziness and just zoned out for days. Lately though, I’ve felt OK throughout the day and on the evening. I still struggle on a morning which I think it quite common for people taking Mirtazapine. When my alarm goes off I roll out of bed onto the floor so I have no choice but to get up, still only a nuclear coffee wakes me up.
From today I am mixing it up a bit and taking my Lamotrigine and Mirtazapine earlier (8pm rather than 11/12pm). The hope is that this offsets some of the drowsiness I feel in the morning 🙂 I’ll write up on that when I see (or not) a change in how I feel on a morning.
Oh and I’m starting crossfit soon ha. My mate dragged me into it, doesn’t start until March but I thought I’d kick start some training today with some push ups….Nearly died from doing 17 (not all at once either!!!).
Cross fit… it means you feel cross and pissed at the end, it looks crazy 😉
Glad you feeling improvements!

my arms are still like jelly after a few push ups so I think crossfit might be the end of me.
Thank you, my partner doesn’t seem to think so mind. They feel unloved and unwanted. It’s a toughie because I don’t actually feel any emotion like affection anymore, just numb.

Sorry to hear you are on a numbness phase. It may be what you need to recover, to go through this to level out from the bad phase you were on before? I so not know your partner, but maybe explain you feel like you are on your way to recovery?

That’s great that you were able to push through the couple weeks of really bad side effects. Hopefully the earlier dosing time will make the mornings a little easier.
