Introduction for Purplelavender

Hi there new to this site. For the past 5 months I have been having severe anxiety issues. They started when I got vertigo in July. I have dropped 40 pounds. They have tried me on Ativan and worked for a bit and then stopped. They have tried a few SSRIS SNRIS. I am the type that is not on any other medication and did not do well with the SSRIS etc. So they put me on Clonazepam .5mg 2-3 times a day. They have added Remeron a 15mg as well to try and wean me off the Clonazepam, I have been on Remeron for 17 days. Anxiety seems less and I sleep well but still have anxiety in the daytime. Seems to be easing a bit. I guess its to early to tell.

Looking for support and has anyone had luck with this combo and Remeron in general?

Hello there!

I am having trouble too with the SSRIs and took mirtazipine for the first time last night. Didn't feel great as I only slept 3 hours but I just stopped citalopram the day before so am hoping things will settle once that wears off.

Good luck!

I sleep at least 7-8 hours now which is better than 1-2 before.
