MIRTAZAPINE vs OLANZAPINE

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.

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

My doctor gsve me olanzapine to aid sleep. In the perscription he specifivallly wrotr "to aid sleep". This made me think the medicine could be taken as needed, but no. My nurse found out i had skipped the sleeping pill and put me in the psycgward arguing "laxk of compliance"

Has anyone ever successfully lost their meds weight? I just seem to be getting bigger.

Risperidone made me lactate... yep Latuda made me throw up every single time I took it Olanzapine made me feel like I was drunk Seroquel made me gain 40kg and Lamotrigine gave me the rash

I couldnt read for almost 10years so maybe even longer. I didn't track the time. I was always a big reader. I finished 700page russian literature in a week. But for some reason I wasn't able to do this anymore. I could barely focus on a few Paragraphs, so I stopped reading. I tried it several times

For the first time in a very very long time I am actually proud of myself. I am now stable on Tegretol, clonidine, and olanzapine. I have a job, I was promoted to manager and even made employee of the month. I can't believe how far I've come. 7 months ago I was homeless and strung out on the streets

8 years stable now on olanzapine, but i sleep 10 hrs each day which is alot for someone who wants to study alot, i switched to abilify 20 days now, everything is good but i have insomnia from olanzapine withdrawal, how much time will it take for me to sleep normal again?
