Hi all,
It's been a harrowing day. S spoke to the vet today about Tiggers numbers and decreased appetite. I told her he was bordering on hypoglycemia Since switching to Friskies and Fancy Feast and she said to back him off to 4 units of insulin twice a day and continue with the Fancy Feast. She also prescribed an appetite stimulant and told me to continue him on Cerenia (I had stopped giving it to him but he's back on 1/4 of a 15mg pill per day). He is on and has been on 5 mg. Fluoxetine and when I started reading about the appetite stimulant, this article said not to give it with fluoxetine. http://www.marvistavet.com/mirtazapine.pml
Unfortunately I read that after I gave him the mirtazapine at 3:50. He had his fluoxetine at 10:30 last night. So I panicked and called the vet fearing he would have seretonin syndrome. She had a tech call back and said she doesn't know what I was reading, but she didn't find anything that indicated they can't be given at the same time. She said if it made me more comfortable, I could give him 2.5 fluoxetine for the next two days and don't give him the mirtazapine again. It's given every three days.
I don't know what to do
Please give me your experience if you have any with mirtazapine. Thank you in advance,
