[davey2k12]

hello everyone my name is dave i am a 29 year old male from the north east of england well where do i start i have suffered from general health anxiety and depression for many years i always remember having a fear of my parents dying and how i would cope etc etc well my mam did die 3 years ago and although i was anxious before that it certainly did not help i have been able too sort of keep it under wraps at least a little bit untill around 4 weeks ago since then there has been 14 trips too a and e 3 doctors visits a cardiologist visit ecg tests blood tests x rays an even a echocardiogram for good measure everyone was pleased with my results and said i had anxiety i am now under a mental health team and have been prescribed sertraline and mirtazapine only been taking the sertraline for 11 days and the mirt for 2 days the mirt seems too be working better although i do get a bit breathy but too be honest im usually a bit breathy caused by panicking my heart is going too pack in etc etc first night i took 7.5 mirt then 15 last night and gonna try 30mg tonight and maybe tommorow knock the sertraline on the head see how i feel tommorow but was just wondering if theres anyone else out there suffered how i have and have had decent experiences with mirt?

actually decided too stick with the mirt as i did sleep well apart from waking up that once and maybe its just a side affect that will ware off because apart from that they were quite good
