Hi Cloudyn,
Here, Mirtazapine is used to treat Major Depressive Disorder, or Severe Depression. I have been through many SSRIs and SNRIs, Therapies and coping on my own. I have had combos to try to treat my Depression and Anxiety/Panic Attacks. Over my lifetime, since adolescence, little has eased my Depression - nothing has ever lifted it. I have even been dxed with a Depressive Personality Disorder by Psychiatrists.
All I ask of a med is to keep me stable, halt downward spirals and definitely not allow or cause a plummet.
Dave.
