    i was placed on Lexapro, however since lexapro was not doing much for me they place me on Mirtazapine at the same time. Mirtazapine almost killed me It gave me all types of brain zaps etc., I had to change to a different psychiatrist because my original one kept telling me it was all in my mind. The new psychiatrist slowly took me off the Mirtazapine and placed me on Zoloft. Well the withdrawing symptoms from Mirtazapine  was like gong to hell. I have been off Mirtazapine and now take zoloft and Buspirone. It has been 9 month and I still get some symptoms from the mirtazapine.

    Don,t give up, I almost gave up myself and finally I was able to slowly pick up the pieces. I am not there yet but I take one day at a time, some days are good some are bad. Instead of giving up try  to get a second opinion from another psychiatrist that might help. I went to a second psychiatrist and she is very good and is helping me out a lot.

      Only one psychiatrist available here, I wish I could go private but too expensive.

    yes I take 15mg mert at night and 50mg pregabalin in afternoon. an hour or so after taking pregabalin I feel agitated and suicidal. I'm sure it's the pregabalin that's causing it. I don't think they mix very well to be honest.
