Hi Crumble, thank you for such a comprehensive reply. Strangely (or not as some others have experienced the same) my anxiety increased while I was on mirt. Apart from about three weeks when I felt really well on it, I felt a strange internal shakiness. It was on the other hand excellent for sleep. I am hoping that if I go on the cit that it will balance things out somewhat... as it seems to have done for you.

I will also start low and go slow as you have done in an effort to avoid any nastiness. I'll let you know how the GP's appointment goes and if it's decided that the mirt/cit combo is the best course of action. She has also mentioned Pregabalin in the past, so we will be discussing that option too. If only I had a crystal ball to see which might work best!

Take care now and thanks again
