Welcome to the forum.
I was on mirt for 6 years for depression it stopped working in december and thats when my anxiety started.
It is the best 6 years Ive had my mood was steady and my sleep was good only side effect I had was weight gain.
Because it has stopped working I had to withdraw and be put on another AD that was the hard but I am still on 15mg of mirt at night but have to come off that in the next couple of weeks and its really tough.
Can I just add everyone reacts differently to meds so some of the horror stories on here may not happen to you
I believe mirt is good for depression but not for anxiety.
Stay Strong

āSo my advice to you is avoid it if you can possiblly manage without, but if you're in a bad way, it can really dig you out of a hole. It gave me my life back for over 3 years until it stopped working (or maybe it was the hyperthyroidism kicking in, who knows?).
