Sorry to hear this Trish. You've had such a crap experience on this med. It should have made even a slight difference, a slight improvement in 6 weeks. Not sure if you've tried mirtazapine before? Think you need a different med than SSRIs.
Hope you get appointment with MHT soon. Think it's appalling leaving you like this...
Trish you would do well on olanzapine it will calm you right down and help you sleep,I get no side effects from it either
Do I take that wrh anything else Mr Andy xxhow you doing not heard from you xx

How will olanzapine help Trish's depression? It's an antipsychotic.

It's about the most calming med you can take and brilliant for anxiety in low doses
That wasn't my question. I asked how it would help Trish's depression.

I wasn't talking about depression although it does work on that as well
No, it's combined with fluoxetine for depression (Symbyax). There is no clinical evidence it works as monotherapy for depression and is not licensed for such use.
The first time I tried sertraline I didn't feel any improvements till week 9! I am now 6 weeks into it again and still getting all the side effects. Spoke to my Dr today who said to stick with it as some people take longer to feel the positives and that when it starts to work it will be worth it. Which is true as I was about to give up last time then woke up 9 weeks in a suddenly felt calmer, relaxed, happier. Had a good 18 months after that
Only med that worked for me after mirtazapine, prozac, seroxat, citalopram, venlafaxine etc
If it's just for anxiety stay away from prozac/fluoextine. My Dr went mad I was prescribed it my a training gp as it's not a good one for anxiety
Sert helped my depression but didn't a lot for my anxiety in some ways I felt it made it worse
Hang on on if it helps calm my anxiety there be no depression its only being anxioyse that's making me depressed so it would help me to be fair I keep thinking I survived forty six years with out meds this a been a year from hell trying to take meds to be honest since 2011 to Feb this year so much happend in my family tthat made my anxiety so bad to be honest a lot of the family issues have now been sorted. So maybe I could take some rest and change. A fe life things with out the meds and try some therapy to help me I don't honestly think meds at for me xxx

As I just stated.I kinda just quick skip through thread and saw you wounded a bit snappy at Mr Andy I thought I was struggkin bad and he helped me so much. And I will say I don't tnil meds is the way for me to go xxxx
The anxiety on any antidepressant gets worse before it gets better at any dose. It's a start up side effect where symptoms worsen but then when the tablet kicks in it then gets better.
As I say I felt awful for a good 9 weeks then suddenly it's like someone flicked a switch and I felt calmer, anxiety felt like it had the volume turned down, was in the background and I could live again. It was hard not to give up in those early days but I am so glad I stuck at it. 50mg is the lowest prescribed workable dose.
I am struggling now as about 5/6 weeks in but I know it will be worth in the long run. Keep in there, don't give up after coming this far
I am gkad you can hang in there as you done it befr suppose that makes you braver I don't no I just could NIR stick it wish I could as one feeling the set was getting rid of was the feeling of dead in my stomach in a morning which is n coming back so its a case which is the less of two evils xxx
Don't think it makes me braver just I guess I know what to expect after trying to many antids and seeing no quick fix. Feel awful for a couple of months then slowly start to improve. They don't cure anxiety, depression but they make you stronger to try to live your life I guess. Sort of stop you being so scared of everything is way I look at it, give you that support you need sometimes when nothing else works
