Thank you Eclair.
I am actually already on an antidepressant that is supposed to be working but it isn't so the mirtazapine is an add-on. I am hoping I will feel better by August because that is when uni starts again.
All I can say is please, every day, remember to take your dosage. And perservere. This isn't like some quick fix anxiety thing, like valium....you need to give it at least a couple of months, taking your dose religiously. If you don't, you can't really blame the drugs or your doctors. Sometimes we just have to do as we are told and give it a shot.
