Hi everyone,

I have been on venlafaxine for over 10 years and have always been stable. Until now. Had a massive massive crash.

Anyway first my venlafaxine was increased. After 4 weeks I was still awfully anxious and agitated without having any benefit at all from the dose increase so my GP reduced me back down to my original dose because she thought that the increase might actually be making me worse. She has consulted a psychiatrist about adding in mirtazapine. I’ve never taken this before.

Has anyone else ever taken these two drugs together. Has it been helpful? Just need some reassurance and also some tips on what I can expect if anyone has any.

Thank you
