I do use CBT and meditation to help me, has just been quite rough the past week and if all else fails I have some lorazepam if I really need it whilst Im still getting used to the Mirtaz.

I am having those cycle of days where I feel like I am back at square 1 again, god it's annoying mate.
I tried 45mg for 16 days and it was to much for me, fely keyed up all the time, so I dropped to 30mg and have been on that for over 3 weeks now but I have been given the go ahea from my GP to try 37.5mg, just hate readjusting doses all the time.
I'll start from tonight and just grin and bare it and see if there is a change in mood in 2 to 3 weeks time.

Woke up feeling less groggy from starting the 37.5mg dose last night. Going to stay on this for a while and see how I go, I know I will have cycles where I feel shyte but I am slowly starting to get used to them now. At least there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I agree at times it does feel like the meds are taking control of everything you do and feel but your right you definitely have to take control and do things that can benefit you whilst your going through the really rough times. I hope your method continues to work for you
I find for me doing house work and working out regular helps keep me in check but on really rough days I do still need a bit of help by taking some lorazepam but I have only been going with the mirt for 8 weeks, which for any other non anti d medication that is a fair while but it seems when it comes to anti d's you can't really put a time limit on when you will feel like your old self again.
I try to be as pro-active as possible, now pretty much just need the meds to be on the same page which in time I am sure they will.
I may even end up on the 45mg dose after the 37.5, depending on how it goes for me.

Have been on the 37.5mg for 2 days now, going alright but feel very revved up in the evenings but it will probably take a few days to adjust to the higher dose and then a few weeks for it to get into my blood stream properly.
Then if this doesn't work I will have to change meds cause there isn't any other doses I can try after this.
