Fluoxetine Mirtazapine And Trazadone
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Hi there, i have been taking fluoxetine 60mg and 15mg of mirtazapine for quite some time now, unfortunately I'm not sleeping well at all, so I've been to see my doctor and she has told me to stop the mirtazapine straight away and reduce my fluoxetine and gradually introduce the trazadone from 50mg moving up to 100mg possibly 150mg if I feel I need it. I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice if they have had anything similar with there medication, it's just that I'm so used to taking my fluoxetine, thanks kaz

Trazodone is often used, when someone being treated for mental health issues reports trouble sleeping, because it is known to induce drowsiness.

Ref: Trazodone Information

Its other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth.

To find out if it works for you, and to achieve the best possible results, you should follow your doctor's instructions.

Have you started making the transition, yet?



Suzanne, multiple medications are often prescribed, when someone's symptoms warrant it.

Did you have any problems when you took them, before?

How often do you see this doctor?
