Hi Tracey I was on them but have changed to mirtazapine. Depression has lifted but been left with terrible anxiety. Went to the doctors today and have been put on bredanol it like a beta blocker that helps with anxiety. It hasn't lifted me much. But it is the first day .x

Hi and thank you for replying.i was on sertraline 50mg and mirtazapine 30mg.combi of both.mirtazapine didnt help me at all and ive put on quite a bit of weight so was prescribed venalflaxine,horrible side effects so now given these.its just a vicious cycle trying to find right meds and getting on with everyday life.ive heard depression/anixety is heredity.my son and 3 girls all have it

It's all about getting it right. This is my third lot of antidepressants in the last ten weeks. I was perfectly healthy 10 weeks ago now I've got everything under the sun . Cameras down my throat. Anxiety bloodpressure. I was eating well at first now I've made food my enemy. Stay strong I'm always here to talk. X

I so get you.ive got high blood pressure.had no idea.took myself to a&e.thought it was my appendix.blood pressure was super high.my anixety has been with me for about 15 yrs.social anixety is a huge prob for me.was so random.never had a panic attack and first one was on motorway.thought i was dying.so travelling bein on trains buses really scares me.then the depression kicked in.i wasnt happy generally and it kinda just crept up gradually.i just wake up and think my god,its the same feeling.ive been signed off work for a wk.im actually scared to take these new tablets cos if u have high blood pressure,says u shouldn't take them
