meeting the man in the white coat part 2

thought I was meeting my psychiatrist for the first time last week but saw a lady from his team , been suffering awful anxiety ,and depression for about 4 years, been to all the stress courses, the cbt counselling. hypnotherapy, the bloody lot. she took my results to him and he has put me on a course of mirtazapine at night + sertraline in the morning for about 3 weeks till he can see me, after just 1 week on them I am starting to 100% better. not getting those awful harmful thoughts , and feel like I want to get out and be alive again. I know its only a week but I feel so much more positive about the future. o/h says I look a different person ,and is loving having his wife back again. lots of love to you all.xxx

hi miarose , sorry so late getting back to you, I have had no side effects as yet, only been on sertraline for about a week & a half, the mirtazapine has put a little weight on me but try them & see how you feel, best of luck, take care.xx
