Sounds like you've had a terrible time of it! I've been taking Mirtazapine and Sertraline for a long time and it's absolutely fine. This was prescribed by my Psychiatrist- every now and then when getting my repeat prescriptions from the GP they raise an eyebrow but it's really from lack of education on the different ways they work.
The start up side effects of any of these drugs can be brutal so starting two brand new anti depressants at the same time is quite full on for your system to try to adapt to but it won't cause you any actual harm. The start up side effects do go away though!
Good luck xx
