Levomilnacipran vs MIRTAZAPINE

I took a Genetic Test called Genesight and it listed the following medicines to use as directed (highlighted in green) but I don't think any of them are for OCD. Does anyone have experience taking any of these medicines specifically for OCD? * bupropion (Wellbutrin®) * desipramine (Norpramin®) * des

I wanted to share my experience with Viibryd thus far, since when I first starting looking into it after being prescribed it, I mostly found people saying how they had a bad time on it. Quick background, this is the 6th antidepressant I've tried. Before Viibryd, I was on citalopram for 8 years and

**Most Common Antidepressants** * *SSRI's* \- Works on Serotonin * Sertraline (Zoloft) * Fluoxetine (Prozac) * Paroxetine (Paxil) * Citalopram (Celexa) * Escitalopram (Lexapro) * Fluvoxamine (Luvox) * Trazodone (Desyrel) * Vilazodone (Viibryd) * Vortioxetine (Trintellix)

I'm really struggling with my depression post-surgery. I think a big part of the problem may be my anti-depressant. I have had great success with Fetzima/levomilnacipran, a little-used antidepressant that unfortunately, ONLY comes in an extended release version. I think that, with my rny and shorte

Apologies for the wall of text - I've done my best to condense 15 years of crap into a reasonably sized post. ​ I have a depressive disorder. This much is obvious. I've been on antidepressants for 15 years. I've tried 6 of them in total (fluoxetine, sertraline, trazodone, bupropion, vilaz

Hello, I'm am getting off Wellbutrin, and want to research an alternative drug to ask my DOC about. This is for MDD, and this is what I found: Lexapro - escitalopram (SSRI, seems fine, side effects don't sound good.) Venlafaxine-Effexor (SNRI, similar to Wellbutrin, standard SNRI side effects)) Dul

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
