Sorry June I meant to add that it will take a few weeks for the medication to get into your system.
i have been on the increase Mirtazapine 15mg to 30mg 16 days now.
I have been up & down.More down than up but I did have a high at the weekend.
i think that's why I had a low spell on Monday.
sometimes you will feel like you are getting there and find another day where you feel like giving up- don't!
The medication has to do its work which means that it has to sort out the bad,making you feel worse, before making you better.
it varies from person to person but you have to give it 4-6 weeks to fully take effect.
your body has to get use to the drug before it starts sorting you out.
there is no magic pill even though we wish there were.
No matter how many times I've had depression& anxiety I am still impatient when waiting for the meds to work,but they do eventually.
you just want to feel better NOW! But unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
your brain has to have time to heal but heal it will.
however hard you find it you must carry on.
i have been deep deep down in that black hole as far as you can get and been through horrendous anxiety attacks and I have come through it.
i wish I never ever had it but I do.
with medication and CBT which I had for 18mrhs I have learnt to manage it hard as it might be.
this time round has not been so bad as other times for which I'm glad.
Bad enough but not so much anxiety this time.
