I started using the transdermal magnesium a couple of months back and while I found it did calm me down and help me sleep, I found after a couple of weeks I was waking up with racing heart & really dizzy, almost like when you have low blood pressure. I do take betablockers so maybe I was using too much of it. Just wondered if anyone else had experience of this?
I posted on another thread that I am currently on mirtazapine, but reduced from 30mg to 15mg 3 weeks ago, up till a few days ago I was coping not too bad, but now feel worse than I did before starting them, been having internal tremors which were intermittent but for past week have been 24/7, again not sure if this is down to peri or the mirtazapine. Just when I think I am getting better, I have a meltdown for no apparent reason, it's soooo frustrating. Yesterday I couldn't get out of bed, today hasn't been much better :( xx

It's probably due to you dropping the dosage of the Mirtazapine …….. have a word with a Pharmacist?

Even after 3 weeks? I did miss a few days, but been taking them every night since last Monday, perhaps I have maybe messed things up a bit, stopping and starting. x

Yes, because the brain takes a while to build up resistance it will take a few days before the patient begins to notice a difference.
How are you today?

Still have the shaking/muscle twitching, I spoke to the pharmacist and she felt that that it could be the mirtazapine interacting with tramadol as they both have an effect on serotonin. However it's difficult knowing what's a side effect and what's withdrawal or if it's meno related. I feel like I have aged 40 years in the past 3 months, joint pain and tiredness is terrible. x

The Pharmacist suggested what ………… ??? ………… I know that some ADs can cause muscle tremor ……… nuisance! How much does it affect you, does it keep you awake?

It makes sense what the pharmacist said. No doesn't keep me awake, like you say it's a nuisance x
