I was recently prescribed Martazapine for depression and anxiety, but also for insomnia and because i wasn't eating. For the first 3 weeks I was taking 15mg. I had been feeling somewhat better but in the third week, lost appetite again and felt anxiety and depression rising. Dr upped my dosage to 30mg. I was on that for a week and was feeling worse. He dropped me back down to 15mg for a night and then 7.5mg the next. I have been taking 7.5mg for the past 4 nights and my mood seems to have gotten better but the anxiety seems worse and im just starting to have issues with sleep again. Could this be caused by the drop in dosage?
