I withdrew from a low dose of Mirtazapine a few weeks ago -- I was only on it for 2 weeks, for sleep, but have felt intensely restless (to the point of akathisia), overadrenalized, stiff jaw etc. for the past 4 weeks and am going crazy.
I cannot take benzodiazepines because they paradoxically agitate me. I cannot take Taurine, Magnesium, Lemon Balm or anything else GABAergic because they also agitate me. Antihistamines make it worse the next day.
I tried N-acetylglucosamine, but didn't notice a thing at 2500mg a day.
I am taking Lithium Orotate (about 5mg b.i.d.) and it helps mildly. 1000IU of Vitamin E helps a little too.
I have some N-acetylcysteine, but react poorly to that too.
Beta-blockers calmed me physically somewhat, but didn't fix the akathisia.
Anything? :*(
