How much were you taking when sertraline stopped working and if it was less than 200mg was increasing the dose tried?
Or the stress of the coronavirus and working in the hospital. Its been like working on a battlefield! Alas Christmas eve I couldn't even get out of bed. My anxiety was terrible and no energy. I can't believe this has happened again!
Even those who have never had an anxiety disorder or depression are crumbling under the strain. Everyone has their limit.
Have been trying mirtazipan for 6 weeks with no effect.
Not really a surprise. It is mostly just a sedative, not an AD.
So now been put on venlafaxine.
Any words of encouragement be grateful. I now on day 3 so will use this thread to keep a diary. Just hope these will help get me on my feet and back to work???
Kind regards 😇
Unfortunately, there still isn't any way of predicting which AD will mesh best with individual biology. It all comes down to trial and error. That said, venlafaxine has a good chance of working, certainly better than mirtazapine. Fingers crossed 🤞
