Hello everyone , I just came from the dr yesterday and she perscribed me Mirtazapine for GAD ( Anxiety disorder ) They gave me only 15mg. I really do not want to take prescription drugs. I would like to try something natural if I can. I am supposed to go back in 4 weeks and give dr an update.

I am not sure if I want to take this pill tonight. Today I got 0 done I am so sleepy and drowsy I feel like a zombie. I also wanted to know should I at least try it for the 4-6 weeks suggested ( to take effect in the body ) then tell dr I would like to try something else natural ? I really do not want my body getting addicted to this and needing to taper off because of withdrawls.

I was also given buspirone

    Kerry, my doc started me on 7.5, but I'm sensitive to medications. I tried it on half of that amount because I also take clonazepam .5mg in the morning. They say the sedation feeling usually wears off.
