Mirtazapine for anxiety

Mental health

I thought I would share my recent experience with mirt.

I was prescribed 15mg 6 days ago for severe anxiety/panic attacks. These were totally all encompassing and I could not function at all.

They started after a very traumatic event.

I was not confident at all that the pills would work but, after the first night of taking one pill I was 80% calmer. I was absolutely amazed.

I have had no side effects (so far) and started to think that my progress was a placebo effect.

However, on looking into the mechanism of how they work it is entirely possible for them to work that quickly.

I’m not 100% better, I’d say about 90%. I still have the daily mini spikes in the morning but they are far more manageable.

I just wanted to put a positive story out there

That’s great but hope you can get off them when needed, my issue with anti depressives is they don’t cure but make you feel you are, hope that works for you

Pleased to hear you are finding relief with the temp meds. Hope they will help your recovery. Events 15 years ago caused me depression. A friend suggested i should add omega 3s to my diet, long story but the keypoint is that they have helped phenomenally, im also now supplementing with a Vit B complex tablet each day. In the long term Omega 3`s are so important to our brain. Are you supplementing with either of these?
