FLUOXETINE vs MIRTAZAPINE

I am depression. The person I used to be is gone, there is no going back from this. I'm just sat In the hospital while my mum speaks to cahms, trying to hide my neck from all the other patients. I'm desperate to leave the hospital and get home but I know I'm gonna try again eventually. I've been on

Started seeing a therapist in April 2013 because my mum was worried about me. The therapist was in her mid 20's, and was pretty, so I felt a level of attraction to her, and told her a lot of things about me that I hadn't told anyone. I was in high school at the time, an all boys one, so she was basi

Hello everyone, my name is Samuel, I'm 14 years old and I'm Brazilian. I've been having these thoughts for about two or three years, but in the last few days they've gotten a lot worse. especially after I started taking fluoxetine I think about suicide all day and it haunts me all the time, I can'

I feel like the anti-anxiety effects of this drug (Fluoxetine AKA Prozax), which have been good in a lot of ways, have caused me to lose a certain sense of 'urgency' or 'appropriate' anxiety towards things like academic deadlines etc. Things I really should be worrying about don't really make me anx

Hi! hope someone who is not feeling good read this. I tried to commit suicide two years ago. in fact, using another reddit account I found help with this community before, and people was really nice!.. So now I want to write this just to i dunno... maybe put some hope in at least someone. I've bee

A brief summary: so I had major depression & severe for anxiety for about 1.5yrs, it was serious & I was at an all time low, hospital admissions, the lot. Doctors suspected it was drug induced (from MDMA), which I completely agree with, it was the time I spiralled down HARD, and also situati

I am on 20mg of fluoxetine and it’s stopping me from crying almost completely, I can occasionally squeeze out a tear or two and I’ve had one been breakdown when I was drunk but other than that the feelings build in my body and I feel worse and worse but it has nowhere to go. I’m also breaking out in

7 months ago, I took fluoxetine for a total of 14 days, after a period of mild depression. Although far from being perfectly stable, I was still an energetic, passionate, intelligent young man with big aspirations and a lot to live for. Those 14 pills changed all of that. After about a week on the m

http://i.imgur.com/5Gcb8.jpg A year ago, I was sitting in the middle of class and just up and decided I wanted to be dead, so I got on the next bus to the train station. A man saw me crying and sat next to me and asked me what was wrong, I told him what I was going to do because, well who gives a sh

In this post I'm going to give you a bunch of tips that can help you with your anxiety and depression and not only that but explain some of the science behind it in a way that's easy to understand. I've had anxiety and depression for 15 years and have tried a huge array of medications, tried differe

SSRIs didn't do shit. Nor mirtazapine. Nor CBT. Nor counselling. Nor even stimulants now. I genuinely despise the words "attitude" and "mindset" and wish to see them permanently expunged from the English vocabulary. Incidentally, none of the counsellors or therapists I've seen over the years have us

What happens next? I facelessly type my problems into the internet and hope that strangers will be able to change my outlook or something. I'm not sure what I actually fucking expect. I'm just lonely and scared and tired. UPDATE: Thank you so much everyone for the kind words, advice and just letting

Hey all. I was officially diagnosed with depression and anxiety about 2 years ago. But I was a stubborn person back then and refused to have any meds. I even stopped therapy after a while. Fast forward to the last week, I restarted therapy and the new doc has prescribed me Mirtazapine for the time b

If you're anything like me, when I am looking into a new drug or beginning to take a new drug I go to the internet to look for common side-effects and other people's personal experiences. I'm bored so I am going to write out my experience/s with Mirtazapine over the last 3 years for anyone looking i

This February marks the end of my (27M) 3rd year on Remeron / Mirtazapine, a non-SSRI antidepressant. Reddit was the only reason I even asked about it, so I’m posting a review for anyone thinking about starting antidepressants, who also might be scared of the side effects many people experience with

I started taking the antidepressant Mirtazapine back in late August. It was to help manage my depression and anxiety. I can't really speak to its effect on those two issues, but I had another issue: chronic, intractable migraines every day that lasted hours upon hours. And the Mirtazapine completely

January marks my 1 year on Mirtazapine, and it has been incredible for me! I have suffered from pretty bad panic attacks and depression since I was 13, and was never medicated (with an antidepressant) till a year ago. It was the perfect drug for me, as I struggle to sleep at night and needed to gai
