Hi all
I'm considering starting on Effexor as my phyc has suggested it due to the fact that the 45mg of Mirtazapine is not working for my anxiety - in fact its getting worse (been on if for a year). I'm to the point now where I'm virtually housebound and about to loose everything unless I get back on my feet.
So long story short I'm considering the Effexor as I've tried SSRI's before and they did not agree with me at all!! Im wondering if anyone else is taking Mirtazapine with Effexor and does the Mirt lessen or aggravate the side effects in anyway? also I've read that you have to have an ECG before starting this med is that correct? as I live so distance from the hospital that the trip and the wait to be seen scares be enough.
I've had plenty of ECG's in the past when my anxiety was acute so not worried about the proceedure just the hastle of going for it.
Thanks for reading.
