MIRTAZAPINE vs VENLAFAXINE

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

I just needed to vent about my depression and my issues with society's stance on it somewhere. I thought these were supposed to be the best years of my life? I'm not ugly, and I like to think I'm funny and friendly, so why don't people like me? I'm always alone. Always, always, always. I've spent my

Chronic fatigue. I feel so so tired and weak all the time. Brain fog so bad it is even hard to read and comprehend stuff. Insomnia. I have to take strong sedatives to sleep. I feel like death after waking up. Developed bruxism in my sleep. Noticed it only after it fvcked up all my teeth and they s

Hi all, I unfortunately, went through a tough antidepressant withdrawal from Venlafaxine, and after finding out how common the issue was I decided to get started on creating an application to help. The app is simple and just allows you to keep track of your symptoms as they come, so you can identify

*This is more of a rant than anything. I'm sorry for the formatting. I am on mobile and not really able to think clearly right now*   One month ago, I was put in a psych ward by my parents (I'm still a minor) during what was one of the worst depressive episodes I have ever had. I was physic

I am at the end of my rope right now, and I have nowhere else to go except jump. I wake up every morning wishing it would all stop, and it's my last thought before falling asleep. I am finishing up my PhD this year, but I don't have nearly the job prospects I was expecting. I am in a field as a m

*This is a super long post*, but before I started my AD I was looking for something detailed like this to see people's progressions on their meds. I had a hard time finding much, and this is why I decided to track my own progress and share after 6 weeks. Backstory: 26yr F, have had anxiety and mild

I take Venlafaxine. Just increased from 75 mg to 150 mg. I used to masturbate a lot. Not everyday...but most days. Now I have absolutely zero urge to. I’m talking to a girl now and she says that she’s a “freak” sexually. But I’m basically asexual now because of my meds. So of course.

Hi, Reddit, Over the past month, I have been weaning off of Venlafaxine, I was only on it for 3 months but it has been a debilitating experience that should be taken seriously! After a lot of research, I have noticed many people have been taking these medications for years and the withdrawal symptom
