Well after months of being on mirtazapine and frankly not only doing nothing for me, it's made me feel worse than I ever was, I spoke to my parents GP where I'm signed on temporarily and he's suggested I taper off mirt (reduce down from 30mg to 15mg) for the next 3 weeks and then stop completely. And in the meantime start 10mg of escitalopram. I've also got propanalol 2x10mg up to 3 times a day which has really helped with the daily anxiety. What a lot of bloody tablets!!

I'm a bit worried about stopping one and starting the other - but I really do want off mirt.
