I know some people here have been prescribed antidepressants, has anyone taken mirtazapine? I put in a prescription request for sleeping pills and had a phone call from a GP I've never seen who asked why I wanted them. I explained that my mind races when I go to bed, she asked why. Obviously hadn't read my notes as I had to tell her my husband died less than six months ago. She then implied that my 'mood' should be improved by now and prescribed mirtazapine. I read all the side effects and I'm not sure I want to take them, they are quite new and seem to be for severe depression. How does grief differ from depression? I get up, eat, function, walk the dog, I'm just very very unhappy and lonely while doing it.
Has anyone else taken mirtazapine? Are there other alternatives? I'm worried I'll end up feeling worse rather than better. What would you advise please?
