I am now on day 17 of taking this Mirtazapine, the anxiety has calmed down quite a bit and I am not crying as much. However, I am so depressed. I am still having suicuidal thoughts and the nightmares are so disturbing that they make me more depressed. I am guessing I am depressed cos it can take up to 4 weeks for the anti- depressant part to take effect. I am also very snappy and irratable and I get angry and over react at simple everyday things. Any comments or similar stories please?

    thanks for the response. I am now on day 21 and I am starting to feel better. I feel more motivated to do things that I have needed to do for so long but have been unable to. I still feel a bit agitated and impatient but I am feeling optimistic as some improvements are starting to show now.Plus the nightmares have deminished quite a bit as well.Thanks :D

    I found it took 6 weeks to feel the full effects, although I did start to feel a bit better after a couple of weeks. Keep persevering. Hope you feel better soon.
