Newest uploud on withdrawal, side effects weight gain and starting again medication again. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QRIHlpBrUFo.html
I started Mirtazapine in August and have gained 13lbs in approx 2 months. My self confidence is strongly linked to my weight, and I’m struggling to see the woods from the trees as all I can think about now is my weight, that people are looking at me and judging me, my clothes are uncomfortable and tight and I’m now hyper conscious of how much I’m eating. I’m going to have to find an alternative option as I don’t think I want to live my life constantly feeling hideous and guilty about everything I eat. I found this video helpful, knowing that others have had the same issues. The first month was absolutely amazing, I’ve never felt better in my whole life, but unfortunately I’m not body positive enough to accept the added weight. Thanks for sharing! X
I'm glad it could help in some way and I totally agree if the results of the side effects start to outway the benefit of the medication its definitely time to try somthing else because its not worth it. Sending you much love and health for the future. 💙
I gained 40 lbs in 4 months! 😔 I am heavier than I have ever been in my life!! The rapid weight gain caused my ovaries to get out of wack and I almost had to have one removed because I struggle with PCOs and cyst. I finally started seeing a sleep doctor and I’ve been on Ambien for a week. I did have to take one mirtazipine because the withdrawal symptoms made me very suicidal. I still haven’t lost any weight. I truly think it has ruined my metabolism.
I’ve been taking mirtazapine 15mg for 4 months and I’ve gained 24 pounds. I am hungry like a pregnant woman, I crave so much carbohydrates, and sweets. I’m not just hungry at night as my psychiatrist suggested to only eat healthy snacks, I’m hungry around the clock, and feel like I have a bottomless pit of extreme hunger. Mind you I have always been extremely strict with my diets and never craved sweets. I had zero control of myself. This is the biggest I’ve ever been in my life, I have stretch marks on my thighs, butt, boobs from how rapid the weight gain was, I’ve been pregnant before, and pregnancy didn’t even do this to me. I would exercise 5 days out of the week for about two hours in pretty intense weight training. Eventually, due to the continuous weight gain, crazy craving I came to evaluate everything I was taking for my mental health, and realized it has to be the mirtazapine. Come to find all of these articles scientifically explaining the weight gain and so many people sharing there stories.
It’s crazy that it’s not explained drs tend to just say sometimes it can cause weight gain but only when you ask the directly. Needs to be more transparency.
I gained 40 lbs in 4 months! It has been miserable. I was prescribed it for sleep. I craved sweets and carbs too! It was nothing to eat 3 or 4 bowls of cereal before bed. I finally saw a sleep doc and I’m on ambien for about of week. I had to take 1 mirtazipine the other day because the withdrawal symptoms are so bad. I still haven’t lost much weight. I think it’s destroyed my metabolism.
Me too I'm trying to stop taking it because i had almost all side effects specially very low heart rate and almost fainted, I only have one day without using it and I'm starting to feel healthier again.
I gained 80 1lb on mirtazepine. I lost it all and more when I went on the keto diet. I still take 45mg mirtazepine daily - NO weight gain. Check out Dr Ken Berry on RU-vid 'KETO 101'. Life changing.
Thank you for sharing this very personal and painful story. You have helped me make a decision. I have been prescribed this medication. But, I have been reluctant to take it. I do take Abilify, which is very helpful. Your honesty has helped me decide what to do. I struggle with my weight. It would feel like a disaster to gain even more.
I always do suggest discussing with your Dr but I'm glad my information was helpful to you during your decision process and hope that what ever decision you make it can help with you mental health 💓
I can relate to you so much with the eating disorder. I knew I had to get off of this drug because although I wasn’t in extreme mental distress, I had this dull feeling of disappointment because of the weight I put on and how I couldn’t lose it no matter what it seemed. I’m on day 7 without any mirtazapine and my sleep is so awful. I think it’s the worst today because I got 3-4 hours of sleep, and I have to work, and I just don’t even feel like a human. I’ve had a lot of dark thoughts after quitting lexapro and remeron. To the point where sometimes I fear I’m going to lose my mind and have to be committed. I worry that I’m not going to be able to hold my job down very much longer because I’m no longer the happy stable person I was. I’m crying pretty much every other day…I’m so nauseous right now. Needless to say I’m afraid. I wonder sometimes why I do this to myself when the solution is right on my shelf. I just couldn’t live the way I was anymore, hating my body.
This resonates so much to how I feel / felt. I promise the withdrawal does get better I would definitely suggest speaking to a doctor about other options even though I know that gers tiring. I still live in hope that one day I will be able to take the medication without the ED voice but for now knowing other people understand and are still here keeping on going does help. 💙
How are you feeling at the moment do you feel any better today ? I hope so. My same situation and I feel better each day, don’t give up you can do this !
@@deant6361 hi thanks for asking! I’m doing a lot better now. I remember when I wrote that and how hard everyday was. I was crying every other day. I don’t take the remeron anymore but if I go days without good sleep I will take a tiny piece of one. I’ve lost 10 pounds since then. Mentally I’ve evened out a lot more than when I post. I found myself getting depressed and anxious even on the antidepressants so being off of them doesn’t feel like too much of a difference now. I’ve changed jobs and am moving very soon and I think a lot of my depression and anxiety was due to the job I had! I’m feeling hopeful now. I’m glad you are doing better everyday too! Mirtazapine withdrawal is very difficult but gets better.
You are better to come down slowly I know about the Weight gain and a hunger that you can’t describe you will do it but maybe a little help from your doctor to come down slowly
im on my 6 day after 17 years of mirtazapin symptoms : Shivering nausea diarea vomiting suicide toughts but i stay firm will never touch that shit again i wish every one good luck your body and mind is stronger than the drug let that shit go out from your system 2-3 weeks u will be f***ed
I didn’t take it for 3 days because I’m tapering off (have been since March 2024) and I was so suicidal I had to take one again to keep from going off the deep end.
@@samansaban100 yup 25 to 30 years can’t remember. I live on a farm now I’m 63. I’m happily married 20 years. My 4 children grown and gone. I want off so bad. I bought a scale to weigh reducing by 10% every 6 weeks….it will take a long time but I m doing it. I will say this, on it I haven’t gained any weight and Inhave had zero depression or anxiety the entire time. I went on it after months of major depression and insomnia. Hope I can get off. Why do I want to do this? Because you never know with how the world is going if very soon actually we may not be able to have the things we have
Been off 45mg mirtazapine for 10 months now and feel I'm getting worse, not better.. Has anyone withdrawing from mirtazapine suffered severe pain in their back and torso.. Because mine is unbearable as well as all the main withdrawal symptoms,, doctors are just telling me it's all in my head, it's my bad mental health, but I know my body,, withdrawal and my bad mental health are two different things,, please tell me this stops soon,, cos I can't take much more, this 10 months has felt more like 10 years. Debilitating Please help
@@andrewjones1883 Andrew I am not a doctor I’m still on my 15 mg but this takes a while it definitely takes may be a couple years to be yourself again but it is not usually as they tell me because of the fact that you need it. The withdraws are very difficult and very odd, if you tell yourself, this is just a symptom of the withdrawal it will help one day at a time. Hopefully you did not go off of it to quickly. I bought a scale on Amazon that measures featherweight. It is like a pharmacy scale but not the expensive one. I think I spent $20 on a $25 so I got the lowest tablets from my doctor and my son made a 10% reduction number for me to weigh out every month so if I’m on 15 mg, I go down to 13.5 for a whole month I weigh it out I take the extra powder that I crushed and keep it in a little jar and every single night I weigh out the 13.5 mg the next month I do another 10% off and this will take me probably a year and a half to two years, but that is the way to avoid the severe withdrawal The doctors that tell you you can withdraw in a couple of months is not true most of the time. Please don’t give up research everything and try to get doctor help.
I'm on Mirtazapine after a few years on other anti depressants. I fully understand what you're saying and currently feel like I'm constantly hungry which is in turn making me feel more anxious as my family comment on my eating and its driving me nuts.
Thanks for sharing this I think somtimes just hearing the other people experiencing the same things makes you feel less crazy or at least in some way understood.
I gained 40 lbs in 4 mths! My family commented on how fat I was. It ruined my self esteem. They fail to realize it’s not me. It’s the medicine making me crave food 24/7
I was on mortazapine for a year or so. The food cravings are insane! I too am quite health conscious but it makes you feel like your stomach is bottomless. Plus I lost my sex drive and felt like an emotionless robot, so I quit cold turkey. I am honk abounded getting back on it now and again which is why I watch these videos to remind me why I shouldn’t.
Thankyou so much for sharing this I really wish the bottomless pit of hunger could be stopped people really don't understand what I mean about howwww hard it is not to eat and eat on them.
I have taken the mirtzapine 15 mg. Deep depression. Have srtuggled with depression for all my life, and now it came back , the hardest mode ever. Lost almost everything😢. Now i have taken the medication almost a month. Dont go nowwhere, No intrest of nothing. All the time want to eat. Maybe it takes time for me, then the med. kick in. Just dont want to die😢. Living- but living like in hell😢. I can sleep with the mirtzapine. But still have No power on Will to do anything. I dont know, Why if have desreved all this. Depression is like you wanna die, but still your life is like you already dead. Have three children, they not living with me. Had covid, my woman left me and they removed 5 of my upper teeth, all that was at the same time. Just dont want to die yet😢
I was put on 45 mg, following an acute crisis in 2021. For a time it worked. I stayed on this for 18 months, then dropped, but lacked confidence to stay on the 30mg, and went back up. I hate feeling heavy. But the double whammy of Mirtazapine, is increased appetite AND a slow metabolism. I feel uncomfortable. I struggle to keep weight off. It slows me down. Makes me feel sluggish. I don’t enjoy activities, which involve exerting yourself. I want to be me, again. I’m over the actual crisis that initiated being prescribed the drug, in the first place. But now I feel it’s only the Mirtazapine that is holding me back. I’m gradually reducing the dosage, with a plan to get off soon, under supervision of my GP pharmacist. But even here, I’m uncertain of what is going to happen, when I completely come off it.
God bless you I feel your pain. Never give up keep your faith in God… i’m struggling with Remeron and Klonopin….. Rumor off about eight months….. Klonopin about 28 years….. It took me about a year to come off 1 mg of Klonopin…. I have one more milligram….. The doctor put me on. I took 1 mg every day and went to work. I was never told any different. Here I am today…. Please whoever you are stay away from Benzos. Please
Im on this med but no eating disorder. Its my depression. Been on everything and this isnt working either. Have no interest in anything, just sit around when I should be doing things. I feel I have no quality of life anymore, family issues and they dont care or understand, have some health issues and noone seems to care, dont know what to do about my depression. Im smoking more and shouldnt be at all, have copd and drink a few beers also, just sit around feeling sorry for myself, thanks for listening....
Firstly, I'm so sorry you're going through it depression is called the loneliest illness for a reason. For me mirt took a good two months to really kick in helping with my depression but because my mental health is quite medication resistant I also take venlafaxine so it might be worth speaking to your gp about other options of possible or increasing. It might be that therapy alongside medication might help, but I know that's not for everyone. I promise I have been where you are many times, but it's always been worth it when I've made it out the other end. Sending you so much love and support. You're not alone in how you feel.
I am going off for exactly the same reason, except I did gain 20-30 pounds from January to now. I have EDNOS (my eating disorder was more about fear or calories and weight gain) and body dysmorphia and I just saw the weight gain and I could feel like every meal added 5 pounds on and I was getting heavier and more and more depressed. I couldn't control myself. If I bought snacks to last me a week I could eat it in a day or two and I just felt so out of control over food it was like I was obsessed. I also had a different type of fatigue that was more of a soul sucking tiredness. I couldn't exercise. I can look and old pictures where I thought I was fat from lowest weight until the "highest" I was ok with, I looked normal and not fat at all...but that was due to family who are like bullies who would make remarks over my "belly being too big" when I was 140 pounds. I was still a size S then. I am not on any anti-depressants now and just decreasing and down to 15mg from 30mg now. I just take some for anxiety now and have been trying to meditate and facing my fears. I am out of the situation that caused the depression so hopefully I am okay. How are you now? I hope everything okay.
Thankyou so much for sharing this with me im glad your out of what ever situation you were in and hope that your recovery is quick and easy !! I can relate so much to eveything you have said and it gives comfort knowing others understand x
Gave me nerve damage in the limbs, bloated stomach, hair fall out etc! If anyone wants to go mirtazapine, make sure to ask for metformin along with this drug to combat the hunger
I was put on mirtazapine because of anxiety, I was only on it for 7 months, the anxiety lessened really well, but I became angry all the time, and the hunger was unreal, I felt like nothing I ate made me feel full, it was a ravenous hunger, I put on 3 stones, I had to stop because the weight gain was making me depressed.
Thank you so much Molly for your video and channel. It´s great support from those of us who also deal with depression. I started complementing Venlafaxin with Mirtazapin just two weeks ago, so I still have to check on how I feel. Nevertheless, I´d like to share that I felt last week a huge amount of energy, as I used to feel when I was doing better, I was highly productive and hiper focused. Then my status changed to a more stable mood and have not been depressed. Have you experienced these ups and downs on Mirtazapin?
Hey thanks so much for taking the time to comment and sorry on the delay getting back. I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad to hear your getting help for your mental health. The ups and downs when starting medication can be confusing and I definitely felt them too but in my experience the ups and downs slowly stable out and I know with venlafaxine I have a few increases in dose before my mood stableised. I hope this helps and I hope you all the best on your mental health journey. X
Recently started again, for sleep. Im splitting the tablets , to 7.5mg so its a weaker. Im on the keto diet, that certainly helps limit cravings and weight gain.
I've recently uploaded an update on mirtazapine and starting again ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QRIHlpBrUFo.html might be helpful ✨️
I’m here right now because I just started Mirtazapine a few days ago and I think I’m having an allergic reaction. 😩 I can’t sleep due to my legs burning/tingling/itching SO bad!! 😢
I would consider talking to your prescribing dr but I know some people who have had itching that lasted a little over a week before calming down. Its always safer to speak to your dr first though!! good luck with everything x
7.5mg has made me eat every night, I'm so disciplined during the day but it goes completely at night, I'm dropping this med for that reason, have put on a stone in 6months
I’m currently going through a similar experience. Ive put on so much weigh on Mirt and I’m now obsessed with food and my body. In the process of switching to fluoxetine 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Have you found your hunger is better since stopping?
Hey sorry your struggling too but sounds like your doing the right things, yes my hunger definitely dropped for the first few weeks I had to make sure I still did eat as I did loose appetite but as long as you make sure you eat enough it should balance out or at least it did for me. Good luck let me know how it goes. 💙
Hey how are you now? Are you on any medication now? What is helping you Have you asked about the metformin??? How much of that do we take to counteract weight gain
I'm going to do an update soon because a lot has changed for me mental health wise and I really want to also do a thorough video relating to withdrawal, getting of them and also going back on them as well. With the metformin I spoke to my GP and they wouldn't prescribe it to me on the NHS but this might be different depending on were your located and also what heath service you use. I'm doing much better mentally but I still do have struggling side effects but I feel the improvement in my mental health is worth it right now for me. I hope this helps and I'll get those videos done as soon as I can for a more clear informative veiw.
For me there was a fast loss and then slow taper I imagine the quick loss was just no longer being bloated as much but everyone is different so how it happened for me might not be the same for someone else x
I'm actually started taking it to gain weight 😅. I'm 45kg only and tried everything, mirtazapine in my last hope right now. Greetings from Saudi Arabia ❤
Weight gain is easy but munchies for no reason is bonkers especially when you've busted ass too lose weight I'm a stik but I can swing hard enough I think f this drug I'm a dude I could give a f anymore but eating at soon as I am up ?No no no no no and it makes me want drink and death preferably both at the same time holding onto a wing and not a blade or both ?Who knows wings and stabbed good enough for me I believe in anything anywhere anyway I'm beyond help good fortune and good things in crimson come past .Or merge .Curses .
@sadbird1720 I didn't gain any weight. But my sister gained a lot of weight using it. I think there's a problem with me. I'm going to the doctor to check
Im on suboxone and I have to take muscle relaxers for muscle spasms and impinged nerve, rotator cuff damage (M.R.I. Pending). Anyway. They offered this to me in a 15mg dose. For sleep. Never told me its an anti depressant or can cause weight gain. Or can cause fatigue. Ive already got chronic fatigue. Anyway. All 3 meds are CNS depressants. So Im sure Id be in bad shape if I took it. Any thoughts? Im also already over weight from being bed bound by the suboxone and adverse effects. I locked myself in my house for a year with the windows closed.
I always say I'm not a professional. However, I would bring this up with the dr. Really, they should suggest medications on a case by case basis, taking into account other medications and circumstances. From everything I know and have experienced about mirt, I think it would possibly not be the best for you, especially if it's just for sleep, there are other medications. But again, I'm not a Dr. I would deffo bring up all these concerns with the DR right them down so you don't forget. Hope this helps
They put u on the worst drugs. Suboxone will cause tooth decay/,toothless.theyre being sued by so so many ppl. They want to prescribe what they want,not what helps. If anybody would listen (medical so called professional😂)We wouldn't be going thru so much bs that we are lied to daily. I'm sorry but I could write a book on all of this ..Drs,psychs,all of em ...just about money that's all they care about
Alright molly girl, I've been on these for 2 years since covid as I got really ill and was suffering mentally. I was a previous body builder and never been fat always a fit, muscular lad and im only in m 20's. but since starting this, I can just eat and eat. it's at nighttime, I wake up and just raid the fridge as im half asleep. I do hate the drowsiness as well but other than them two side affects its been great. i have to get it off for the weight gain though. only on 15mg and gonna split the tablet to 7.5mg and see if it helps. is there no other tablet that is the same mirtazapine just no hunger affects? hope you're good.
Hi thanks for sharing that, I don't think there is an exact match for match however I know some people who have had to come off mirt for the same reason but have had better luck with another anti depressant. I would definitely advice speaking to your prescribing Dr before minimising your dosage first and asking about other medications that have less of a hunger side effect to swap onto if needed. I hope you manage to find somthing that works just as well for you !! X
@@harshshah2812 hi! Yeah I’m fully of them now. So happy I did. The weight gain, sluggishness and overall zombie feeling was enough for me. They really helped over the 2 years but so glad I came off them! If you think you’re ready give it a go! I went from 15mg, 7.5mg for a month or so then fully came off. I do also now take magnum, l-theanine and a few other bits to help me. But feel much better for it. Hope you’re good 👍🏻
These drugs that the pharmaceutical company pushes out is sickening. Once in this it’s hell getting g off it seems. My son who’s been to the ER a number of times fir severe tremors and more and if course the weight gain. These should be banned in my opinion. Sorry your going through this hang in there.
I do belive sole drugs are pushed far to much especially in countries were profit is over all else, but I do also appreciate there are some drugs that are needed for certain people and certain illnesses. If I am on no drugs I can't function or would be gone but I do think they need to provided carefully with clear warnings and understanding of possible side effects. I wish all the best for your son 💙
Just made the decision to stop it. The amount of belly fat I’ve gained is outrageous. I love the antihistamine effect for my allergies but the weight gain is too much.
My anxiety got worse on this . Was on half a pill , then a 5mg , & oh my god I was terrible. Doc said stop it & I was only on it 4 weeks. Not got a substitute!! I’m still struggling with anxiety 😢
30 years on mirtazapine 15mg. I have no idea how I’m going to get off. I heard it was so hard, I have restless leg syndrome so bad from this meds. I’m going to taper for 2 years but it did help my insomnia so much
I've just gone cold turkey 2 weeks ago after 7 years on it. I'm now constantly itchy and have pin pricks off doors and blisters then go cold . not sure if it's mirtazipine withdrawal rash 😢😢😢. I'm more tried then normal too. I came off it as it messes with the paturity gland and messes up menstruate cycles. Absent one month and heavy the next.
cold Turkey after 7 years !! I would always recommend from my own experience slow and steady across many weeks as it can be brutal just shutting of from it. Hope your feeling more like yourself soon !!
I took it for sleep too but I finally saw a sleep doctor and now I’m on Ambien. So far it helps me but tapering off the mirtazipine was hard. I didn’t take it for 3 days and was very suicidal. I had to take one just to keep from ending it. I have been tapering off for 4 mths and still had bad withdrawal symptoms. Good luck! You can do it but slowly!
Benzo's ,Mirtazapine Most of these drugs Turn out to be a nightmare. I wish, I never let my doctor put me on these meds . Humanity beware. Of these medications .
How do you turn that off it's for sweets and alcohol you mean ?It works well and then it just stopped for me need more is not what I like eating is fine but my eyes are are whack from this or something else plus what ?food addition is whack f you you go eat just add water assholes .
Check your B12 levels. You may be deficient because your diet. How did you come off Mirt. I try 10% months tapper and I’m only 7.5mg and it’s very hard.
It was very hard I think the taper along with the venlafaxine slow increase helped curb some of the withdrawal but venlafaxine i know is horrendous to come of as well. I hope your tapering off improves !! X
@@deebee3174 I’ve been on 15mg for 30 years no weight gain but I want off these stupid drugs that they have some nerve giving me with no information on withdrawal trouble. I’m goin to try 10% off once a month get to 7.5 then take another year to get off 7.5. I’m done with this.
Iv only been on this medication for 2 months and put in 7kg non of my cloths fit me i feel so shit about myself. Im thinking of going off it because being over weight and being unhealthy cause of the food im eating is just as bad as being depressed. I hate the way i look. i go to the gym and eat healthy but im still putting on Weight. Then ill so hungry i just wanna screem so i eat the whole MacDonald's menu. This medication is great for my mental health. It worked great. Im so happy and i sleep so good but im really thinking of going off it. Im only on 7.5mg to so i cant even cut it down
Hello I’m on mirtazapine it works for me but I also desperately want off this medication because of weight gain. After 4 years on this medication weight 90kg to 140 kg so horrible I can’t go on like this ready to jump straight off my 15mg tab but scared of withdrawal ? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Peace and health from dee ❤
@@Mental_health_an_Molly thank you for your Imformation I’m happy you shared that with me. Last night I cut my 15mg down to about 12ishmg slept half the night then felt abit sick for a few hours doing the same tonight I’ll see how I go, but you’re right definitely won’t jump straight off. Thanks for sharing ☀️
same here mate. i put on so much got stretch marks and it hasnt benefited me at all. ive been though every ssri. am currently on 150mg venlafaxine and still getting no relief.
@@Mental_health_an_Molly hello again I just wanted to thank you for the advice you gave me regards mirtazapine I didn’t jump off but I reduced over 2 weeks and have been off them for about a week. Feel pretty good, in fact I think I feel better now I’m off mirtazapine now I can hopefully get the weight down. Peace and health from Melbourne Australia ✨
I'm glad it helped you it's fantastic at what it can do for some, I have inface suffered " hardcore" anxiety, PTSD, insomnia OCD and sever depression. But if you think " biggest fear being weight gain" isn't an issue I imagine you haven't battled an eating disorder. The weight gain is never the real issue unfortunately people don't realise that and eating disorders are the biggest killer in mental health I'm pretty sure all the family's who lost loved ones to the illness would consider it a " hard core" illness.
It’s terrible isn’t it and that makes you more depressed it’s good for sleep but the weight again is terrible and the hunger I was told it’s worse than the munchies you get from smoking happy baccy. I lost 2 and a half stone when I came off them. Sleeping tables are not as good for the sleep but I don’t want to be on them again.
I am going to do a indepth video about getting of this as well as venlafaxine withdrawal but in terms of getting of mert slow and steady is your best freind cutting the doze down over weeks rather then cold turkey as your body cant handle getting of it so slow.
I've been given this when they know im a binge eater. Im already overweight. I find it hard to lose weight as is. I wish i didn't need meds if they are going to make me fat. Because that's one reason i feel like i can't go out
I would talk to them about your concerns you should never feel forced into one option, i know there are medications like venlafaxine that seem to be better fit for people who struggle with binge eating off course you would need to speak to a professional as everyone is different but i would deffo have a discussion dont just get fobed of by them.
It's so difficult isn't it. Everyone is different and it's okay if a medication is not right for you. You can only do what's best for yourself and if the side effects are making things worse looking for somthing else is always the best answer. Hope your doing okay.
Hi, I am on mert for 5 months. 45 mgr, it did nothing for me. My anxiety is still here. I stopped cold turkey 3 days ago. No severe withdrawals, I stil have anxiety, but before mirtazapine i had the same anxiety. I now only take 1 mg lorazepam. I also tried Qeutiapine, terrible drug! I made the choice to live without meds.
If you find anything that helps your anxiety please let me know I’m taking mirt at night 15mg and in daytime half 15mg tablet as needed for anxiety during the day. Seeing Dr soon to see what other meds are available or recommendations etc
