Mirtazapine. Good experiences
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi all... so after trial and error on ssri's I've now been put on a different type of antidepressants... mirtazapine!! I'm on day 9 and feeling terrible. My Anxiety is through the roof, feeling very sick and generally exausted by life at the moment with this constant battle against depression and anxietys. I'm losing hope that I will ever get better. Positive stories please. Has mirtazapine worked for others for both anxiety and depression? And if so what mg I'm only on 15mg at the moment as I'm sensitive to medication. X

Thankyou for your reply Chrisy. Still struggling everyday but I am only at 4 weeks on mirtazapine, tonight is my first night on 45mg and I'm very nervous about side effects. I take it along side 7.5mg olanzapine which is also my first night at a higher dose from 5mg... I just keep hoping these medications work as my life is currently on pause!! I hate this feeling of helplessness and hope for one day soon to start feeling better. Sorry your having a hard time coming off the meds... something in the future for me to not look forward to but at the moment I would try anything to be better... my worry with the increased dose is increased anxiety, did you noticertainly problems when upping the dose? Thanks
Leanne

all I can say is, that you can expect some better and some bad days...I am on day 20 on 30 mg, but still not Quite ok...yesterday was great, but today :-(. I still hope for week or two to be better. You should also be positive,, patient...maybe we are the lucky ones that Mirt is a life saver for us...
