Hello Donna,
I think it's possible that some of the symptoms you're experiencing could be withdrawal symptoms from Zispin.
You say your anxiety was well controlled on the Zispin. Did you have any anxiety at all when you were taking the Zispin? Did you ever have any nightmares before you went on to the SolTabs? Did the Zispin help with your depression?
# I still had anxiety and panick attacks yes but atleast i could still go out etc and wasnt so edgy.. i am very depressed now, i started to get depressed within the last mnth on zispin .. my nightmares started when i started the soltab .. this has happened to many other users of this drug so my doctor told me.. I wasnt depressed was just anxiety..
I think you might benefit from trying Mianserin. Mianserin is an old antidepressant which is very similar to Zispin. It comes as standard tablets (not SolTabs!) and the usual dose for depression and anxiety is 30 to 90 mg a day. If your current anxiety is due to Zispin withdrawal, it would probably improve if you took Mianserin. Because you can get mianserin in 10mg tablets, you can reduce the dose very gradually when you want to come off it.
What do you think?
# I dont know i am pretty scared how exactly is it the same as zispin? I think i need an upper such an snri like effexor again i am not sure or maybe flunoxol ? i dunno.. i am confused and scared..
