Dear all

I have been suffering with depression for six months and have been taking citalopram 40mg without any significant level of recovery. This is the first time I have experienced depression and cannot believe how gruelling it is! my doctor told me to reduce to 20mg of cit for two weeks then introduce mirtazipine. I have done this and due to start mirt tonight 15mg as well as take 20 cit every other day.

I have read through so many posts and mirtazipine seems to get a lot of negative feedback. Has anyone please got any positive posts on this med..don't want another six months of this Iillness so desperately hoping this will work for me. Many thanks for your views xx

    Thank you for responding! My dosage was 15mg but I only took half.

    I have been down this road too many times..I won't be continuing with this drug tonight..I also started a new medication about three weeks ago, Trinillex..Not showing any positives signs yet, just increased anxiety! 

    It is just so frustrating..I have been dealing with depression/anxiety since I have been 17.. I feel so let down!!!
