Depression! Stress! Anxiety! Hormones!

[VeeVee]

Hi, I'm new to the site. I've been suffering from depression for 2 1/2 years caused by stress and anxiety, and possibly a bit post-natal, but I didn't realise I was depressed until GP diagnosed it 6 weeks ago. Until then I just thought I was useless at everything! It's been a bit of a relief to finally realise what is wrong, but also horrible too, if that makes any sense. I'm taking mirtazipine 30mg, going for counselling, reading lots of self-help stuff and starting reflexology this week too. Currently signed off work, feel like it'll be long time before able to go back.

Has anyone got any tips to share about the recovery process, or experience of taking mirtazipine?
