tsranga Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Question for those tapering or off mirtazapine.. Anyone experience a disoriented feeling around dusk / evening? Feels like I can't focus, the change of lighting can cause low mood, agitation etc... This does not happen every day, and disappears once I get used to artificial lights, and sometimes it goes away after dinner, but most of the time, I can't tell if I am hungry or not at dinner and can't make sense/keep track of all the dinner conversation..

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted October 2, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted October 2, 2021 Because you find that it goes after you get used to the artificial lights, you could try turning the lights on before it starts getting dark so that there is less adjustment needed to the change. * NO LONGER ACTIVE on SA * MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: (6 year taper) 0mg Pristiq on 13th November 2021 ADs since ~1992: 25+ years - 1 unknown, Prozac (muscle weakness), Zoloft; citalopram (pooped out) CTed (very sick for 2.5 wks a few months after); Pristiq: 50mg 2012, 100mg beg 2013 (Serotonin Toxicity) Tapering from Oct 2015 - 13 Nov 2021 LAST DOSE 0.0025mg Post 0 updates start here My tapering program My Intro (goes to tapering graph) VIDEO: Antidepressant Withdrawal Syndrome and its Management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsranga Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Yeah. That's what I do .. sometimes it stays through dinner.. I find that getting 20 min of meditation helps clearing it up most nights.
