I've been dealing with depression for the last ten years without any intervention that has been beneficial. I've been on every ssri-snri on the market and with no benefit. However, I'm now on mirtazapine and I believe it might be helping, at the very least with sleep.
You are lucky. I have tried many but the mirtaz hasnt worked for me, it did last time imhad it 20 years ago, so hope you continue ro be well. Meantime i am searching for something to work for me.
I'm the same as you. I was on 375mg venlafaxine plus 15mg Mirtazapine and it hasn't worked. I'm coming off the venlafaxine and upping the mitazpine to 30mg. Let's see what happens
Has doc mentioned Cymbalta? I'm on 7.5 mgs of Mirt -- enough to help with sleep but not depression.
I was on both SSRIs and SNRI (still on Mirt at 7.5 for sleep) Has doc mentioned Cymbalta or have you already tried that?
