Has anyone tried this for anxiety or depression? Has it helped? I have been prescribed this to take along with my Mirtazapine. Really don't want anymore side effects.

    Hello yasmine😊

    I have had this one as an add on to Fluoxetine years ago...I found it very helpful, especially for the mornings that I woke up panicky. It stopped all that. I don’t recall any side effects

      Hi Clem clem. I told my Gp that I struggle worse in the morning, I can wake up Very panicky and anxious, sometimes, it was so bad, I just had to go back to sleep to stop it or I would be crying all day. My Gp put me on this and it helped so much I was able to wake in the morning without crying and panicking, I coped brilliantly on it.

      Did you get many side effects with it. I've dropped down from 30mg to 15 mg Mirtazapine and that's the doctors idea I'm seeing doctor on Wed next wk to see what's she's got planned for me. I went on to sertraline and I was really bad on them so she want to wean me down and start something different. I all so have coucilling book for 31st this mth.

      I don’t remember having any side effects from this but I took the smallest dose. I just remember feeling ‘normal’ in the morning and able to get up and go to work without sitting at the end of my bed without crying for hours.
