~nestling~ Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hey guys! Firstly - Announcement time! ~nestling~ is recovering well, and with the blessing and supervisory support of her treatment team has started reducing her dose of mirtazapine. Currently it's 15mg-30mg on alternate days. It's a week in. :) Things are mostly going pretty good, which is awesome as we all know what efexor withdrwal was like. But I have one frustration. Menstruation. Not happening on time. Is it normal to get your cycle all out of synch when you change anti-depressant dosage? It's just, well, I've been having intermittent cramps [and PMS!] for a week, and no sign of bleeding. Today is day 35. In recent months my cycle has stabilised to average 32 days. I'm frustrated and concerned. [And no, there's no chance in anything that I could be pregnant!] Anyone else's periods go different when you changed your dose?

tryp Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 That's never happened to me. But it sure is good to see you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I agree with Tryp that it's nice to see you around!! Here's my two cents, and in NO way am I a doctor, so yeah, just my opinion. A lot of times when I change something (diet, MEDS, stree, etc) any kind of life change, my body will react a little to it one way or another. Usually it's my period. Typically a med change, for me, will cause my cycle to be a little wonky the first month on or off a med, or PMS will be hell, or whatever. That being said, I haven't had that problem with increasing or decreasing meds, so I don't know. Ask your doctor if it really concerns you and you are always super regular. If you've never seen this before with a med change/adjustment, then that seems a little odd, but not scary or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~nestling~ Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks you both. My period at last started midday today. I'm so relieved! I guess... I'm stabilising on all levels, and it takes a while to adapt to the lower dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 That's good, glad you feel better!!! That would have worried me a bit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
