    Susan, I have been taking 30mg mirtazapine and 10mg escitalopram for about a year now and have had no major problems. Twice had a series of panic attacks but having had them before I just ride it out. I guess you'll have to let time pass and follow up with your Doctor if you don't see any change. We all react differently to the meds.

    Be well.

    To reply to your other post re the effectiveness of mirtazapine for anxiety. I have found it useful for sleep only and that is why I also take the escitalopram (Lexapro) to help with my GAD.

    Sorry but mirtazapine can give you those side effects I’m coming off them which is very difficult and a long process of tapering
