Obsessive Compulsive Disorde
"I was on Citalopram for 10yrs for my anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. I&#039;ve always struggled to eat on that medication though, so I went to my doctor who decided to switch me to Mirtazapine.. I cross tapered medication over a 4 week period to reduced citalopram withdrawal. I started on 15mg of Mirtazapine for a week then my dose was upped to 30mg. I&#039;m so pleased with the results. I feel calmer than I have for years, and I&#039;m also eating again which is a big thing for me as when my anxiety is bad I lose my appetite. It&#039;s also controlling my obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms well. I love this medication. I take it an hour before I go to bed and I sleep for 8 hours and feel refreshed the next day. It also has less side effects than SSRI&#039;s."
