4th day on mirt.

Hi Cathy

i found it helped me to sleep, but did nothing for my mood during the day.  They tried me on a low dose of Sertraline as we'll for 6 weeks, which didn't work out as I became highly agitated - it's the same family as fluoxetine and is supposed to "pep" you up.  I've now been taken off it altogether - the doctor thinks the psychiatrist was a Bt ambitious taking me from 45 mg to zero in a week.  It's certainly affected my sleep pattern and I'm now on another antidepressant.  Sometimes, I thnk I would be better not to take anything because this is the 4t attempt to find something and so far nothing's worked and I've got a few side effects - anxiety, palpitations, a rash all over my back and forehead, etc
