Lance,
 
We are here for you but unfortunately I cannot give you medical advice.  Is there other resources in your area that may be able to refer you to another doctor?

Nope, its a clinic and hes there on Tues and is so booked I cant even make an appt. I was doing so well and dont want to mess up by waiting too long. I can just start back on them. But do I want to take a chance of a relapse by seeing if I can do it? Or maybe I should go back on them longer, especially in light of my recent other changes. I just dont know if chance it.

Is there anyway you can see your doctor sooner?

I just wish I knew if this was a good move. Mirtazipine is also for the panic, although not first line it may help and this issue is no where near resolved. I'm reading about this and I am at a loss. I dont know what to do.

I'm still working out 3 days a week, I had a great workout yesterday. He said to go back on if I started feeling bad. But I dont want to just start if I is just a bad day and I dont want to wait if I need to. It may be weeks until I can see him, so this is up to me. I dont want meds and I dont want to be where I was a few months back. Its a tough call.

Hi Lance,
 
I am sorry you are not feeling well.  Try to cut coffee out and stay strong in your quit.  How are you doing on your exercise routine?  You may just be having a bad day.  When do you think you will be able to see your doctor again?  Follow his/her recommendations until you are able to meet with him.  
 
Members, have you had experiences cutting back on medication?

Hi, I am new to this forum, although the Health educators know me well as I use the sister sites.

I am here right now to try this program and I have a general concern. I have been on Mirtazipine for about three months and since I was doing well and it makes me sleep so hard and have a hard time waking up, my pdoc thought it would be okay to wean off. He said to see how I feel and rusume taking them if I was noticing negative changes. I may be and I dont want to wait too long. I had an appt to see my therapist today and she was out sick and cant get a appt anytime in the near future with the pdoc. When you have no insurance for the first time in your life, you take what you can get.

Lately, while weaning off I have been very irritable. Today, I have some of the hopeless and fear feelings coming back. I'm not sure if maybe I'm having a bad day or If its the coffee I had, which I know not to and havn't but did or part of quitting smoking. But I dont want to wait too long. I dont want to medicate all my life, I have been working out, eating good and doing a lot, slipping back would be bad. So any imput would be great.
