WEEK 8 - IS THIS BLIP

Hi - I guess I'm looking for reassurance. I've been on Escitalopram for 7-8 weeks now at 10mgs. I wasn't seeing much benefit so my Dr suggested adding in 15mg Mitrazapine as I was struggling with sleep, nausea and anxiety. So this made things a long better after a couple of days I was back to myself, couldn't believe it, but this only lasted 3 weeks, and now the anxiety and depression have come back - though not the nausea thankfully. What should I do - is it just a blip? I know @ 8 weeks it's still early days, but it's just so disappointing to be dealing with this again when I thought i was recovering - anyone else experienced this - did it pass or should I increase my dose?
