I have suffered from depression for years and am currently prescribed Mirtazapine, Aripiprazole, and Zopiclone. What are your experiences if you are taking any of these. I find the Zopiclone 3.75mg useless. This is the third night running I have been up since about 2a.m. I've not long come home from Psychiatric Assessment Hospital and finding it quite difficult to adjust back into home life. My son has moved in with me as I am considered "unsafe" to live alone. I have recently tried suicide on two different occasions when have reached my "saturation point" of unaddressed sadness. Hopefully this time, now I am receiving support, and counselling I might find my way out of this. Fed up with being treated like a child though. I like very much to hear from anyone else "in the same boat"?
