    Hi Susie

    I took Venlafaxin for about 11 years but it stopped working.  My GP then tried several different antidepressants but they didn't work.  I was then prescribed 15 Mirt which only worked for 2 months then 30 and 45 but they made me feel awful.

    I asked if I could see a Psychiatrist at our local hospital.  She prescribed 15 mg Mirt with 150 Ven.  I said that they had both stopped working in the past and she said that sometimes they are not so good when taken singly but they were good in combination.  That was last July and for the first time in about 3 years I feel completely back to normal.
