Good morning
Since November 2022 I have been taking Mirzaten, first 15 mg and since April '23 - 30 mg. In January this year, in consultation with a psychiatrist, I reduced the dose to 15 mg. At the end of March, unfortunately, my condition deteriorated significantly, anxiety and depression appeared. I increased the dose back to 30mg. In the meantime, I was prescribed pregabalin 75 but after 10 days I stopped taking it due to sexual dysfunction, of course with the consent of the attending physician. Currently, I am supposed to take mirzaten 30 mg, and in case of a bad condition I am supposed to take 1.5 tablets, i.e. 45 mg. My question: how long do I have to wait to improve again at 30mg? I've been taking it for over a month now and it has only slightly improved, i.e. I don't feel such strong fears anymore, but since the afternoon I have been feeling terribly sad. Sleep is very different. I'm afraid if the medication might stop working? After 3 months of taking a lower dose, will it take longer to "ramp up"? Will I need to take a higher dose? I wouldn't want to give up this drug because I was very happy with it before, it worked well and there were no side effects. I would also like to add that when I first increased the dose to 30 mg, last year, the positive effect appeared almost immediately. Please reply. Best regards
