Since my mirtazapine withdrawal I've noticed something really strange.
Just before I get a depressive episode, my sense of smell goes very acute. At first I thought it was me or my house smelling a bit fusty, but after asking some (very close) friends to give me a sniff, they said I smelled fine, and it was then I realised my sense of smell was heightened.
Then the next day, or the day after that I will end up in bed for several days with a bad depression.
It happens too often to be a coincidence. Sometimes it's so overpowering it drives me crazy and I end up spending a fortune on perfume and room fragrances!
I'm kind of curious as to what's causing it..
Has anyone else found this or heard of this before?
Kerry.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteThis always happens to me, it's as if I become acutely sensitive to all odours good or bad! I know it's not my imagination as my ex boyfriend noticed it happening when I was becoming depressed too. I also become really intolerant of noise.
