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.
After the biopsy procedure, your doctor sends the sample to a laboratory for testing. Depending on the skin condition, type of biopsy and the laboratory procedures, results may take several days or a couple of weeks. Results of biopsies for metabolic or genetic testing can take several months or more. Your doctor may schedule an office appointment to discuss the results of the test. If possible, bring along a family member or friend. It can be difficult to absorb all the information provided during an appointment. The person who accompanies you may remember something that you forgot or missed.
