Is Mirtazapine right for me ??

Hi All,
I started Mirtaz about 6.5 weeks ago.
My starting dose was 15mg for 8 days, then 30mg for 13 days and then 45mg for 16 days.
The 45mg was to much, felt really agro all the time and very irritable, so the doc dropped my dose back to 30mg which I have now been on for 11 days, but I am finding I am needing to take 1 to 2 Lorazepam a day because my anxiety and intrusive thoughts have come back and meditation/mindfulness isn't helping me as much as it was.
I wake up with a stiff sore neck every morning now and have thoughts of wanting to crack my neck but never do cause I don't want to harm myself and never have.
Does anyone think things will get better or do I need to get my doc to try me on a dose like 37.5mg to see if that helps the anxiety and intrusive thoughts to lesson ?
I would be very grateful for any advice that anyone could give me.
Kind Regards,
Aaron

Cheers for the reply.
I make sure I don't drink any grog whilst on Mirt have heard it can really make you crook.
Yeah that low and agitated feeling is shocking, I take Lorazepam to keep it in check but don't really want to be on that for long periods of time. Seeing the Doc on Tuesday hopefully we can come up with some solutions.
Cheers,
Aaron
