Thanks. It is supposed to work well in combination with Cymbalta which I am already taking.

Thank you. :)

I start the meds tonight. I want to feel better soon as I don't like the feeling of not caring about anything. At least feel better before I go back to uni as I want to care about my studies. No point in going if I don't care!

Got a new anti depressant; mirtazepine. Anyone tried this?

I haven't tried it, but I hope it helps.

Thanks. :)

So far it helps me get off to sleep pretty well. I feel drowsy in the morning as well but hopefully that effect wears off.

Never even heard of it

according to google it's a tetracyclic antidepressant . never tried anything like that myself I don't think. I tried dosulepin once which is a tricyclic antidepressant but didn't help me.

I hope it works for you anyway :)

I was on a tetracyclic antidepressant once years ago, and it worked wonders. But I had to increase the dosage slowly and again come off it slowly. I followed the instructions exactly and within 3 months felt like a new person. I hope you persist with it Renaeden, sometimes we want an instant fix, but you have to have patience and let the drug do it's work and grow some nice happy pathways in your brain. That takes time.

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.
