Hi there. I have been diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder again recently, after taking Fluoxetine in 2014 and Sertraline in 2016. My doctor has prescribed 15mg of Mirtazapine, to help with sleep and general anxiety.

I'm really scared to start as I've experienced side effects with AD's before, and I really don't want them again. I'm not too bothered about the gaining weight thing, but I'm more worried about sedation and being like a zombie all day...

I'm also scared they will change my personality, or make me feel incapable of feeling love, or happiness, and other natural emotions.

Any advice?
