Mirtazapine withdrawal is one of the nastiest kinds. Even if you were on them for a couple of months. Standard tapering schedule for mirtazapine is reducing the dose 10 percent every three to six weeks, depending on how you feel. Some people have to go 5 percent or less. I made a mistake of reducing the meds 30 percent and have been ill for two weeks.
Awaiting biopsy results from endoscopy. It will be 2 weeks today since my endoscopy. My doctor was on vacation for the last week and just came back into the office on friday. The scheduler called to make an appointment for a consultation visit with the doctor. I asked to speak with the nurse to find out my results and I was told that she'd call me by the end of the day.
Once your doctor has collected enough cells or tissue for analysis, your needle biopsy procedure is complete. Your biopsy sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. The results may be available in a few days, though more technical tests may require more time. Ask your doctor how long you can expect to wait. Your health care team may apply a bandage over the area where the needle was inserted. You may be asked to apply pressure to the bandage for several minutes to ensure there is minimal bleeding. In most cases, you can leave when your needle biopsy procedure is completed.
