Hi,

I have to say that Mirtazipine do nothing for me either, apart from give me an appetite and make me sleep well (which is great but it was anxiety I needed help with!!). I don't really know what the protocol is but I'm sure if your GP knew how desperate you are he/she could change your medication. If not could you call your psychologist and get a sooner appt??
