This was the first antidepressant I was put on and had to go off because it made me ache like I had the flu.

Welcome Sharona! Thanks for posting, and for your question.

I'm thinking you mean mirtazapine (a.k.a. Remeron)? I have been on it for several years. It didn't exactly get me out of the bad depression I was in, but it helped enough to be encouraging. From there, a couple of other meds were added and so far it's been a good combo. I do suspect, though, that if I ever go off of it the withdrawal process will not be fun.

Please bear in mind that it's very hard to know how any medication will affect any individual, so that's only my experience with it.

I have been on it for about a year, my Pdoc added it to my Pristiq cuz it was supposed to increase the effect. Other than making me really tired, I don't think it did much, if anything. About 4 months ago I cut down from 15mg to 7.5mg. I'm hoping to eliminate it within the next few months. I'm already having withdrawal fun from coming off Seroquel so I look forward to the remeron withdrawal
