You would think that psychiatrists would know this and advise accordingly. Makes me angry to think that I could be feeling much better by now if I had just waited a bit longer. Another thought crossed my mind - I recovered much more quickly from previous episodes when I’ve been under the care of my GP alone. It’s only since seeing a psychiatrist that I’ve been unwell for over a year. Quite worrying.
If so ask her what the advantage is in taking both mirtazapine and quetiapine given they both affect the same mix of receptors to about the same degree. It is a question for which I've never been able to get a definitive answer.
