Lesley I am so sorry that you feel your meds. are not working for you.
How long have you been on Venalfaxine?
As some of the antidepressants take at least a couple of weeks to give any benefit perhaps you need to take them for a bit longer.
Also you may still have some Mirtazapine in your body and be experiencing some withdrawal from this.
We are all different and what works for one person may not be any good at all for another.
If you feel that the new medication is not helping perhaps you should see your doctor again Lesley.
Some good advice from Carina which I shall try to take on board my self.
I find meditation helps to clear my mind and as I walk my dog every day I feel fresh air and some excersise helps.
I keep you in my thoughts Lesley and you have made the first step by posting.
Lots of good folk here who will be able to offer some advice.
Please know you are not alone.
xx

You sound determined to improve, so I guess Mindfulness is just what you need. Ask your GP to refer you to it first. Good luck.

i Lesley,I just wondered how things are now with you? its been a while and I really hope you are in a different place ( a better one in your life right now ) i came off the drugs completely and waiting for psychiatrist to medicate me as i seem to have exhausted all types of psychological help available, I self referd my self to a centre in Edinburgh for PTSD and it was a complete fail..they began with buddhist approach !! so immediately thought (oh I'm going to be judged by my last life actions here now?) i doubt they were even qualified to be talking about buddhism. this is what I'm up against.. hope it made you smile at least. cxc
