Anxiety
"I was prescribed venalfaxine and after 10 days I experienced terrifying symptoms. I stopped taking it immediately, to the annoyance of the psychiatrist who had given  it. He then prescribed mirtazapine which I took at 15mg for 2 weeks with some success.  After 10 days on Mirt I had three nights of heigtened anxiety, although nothing as bad as before taking the mirt. The psychiatrist then suggested upping my mirt to 30mg. I did this for 2 nights and felt dreadful. Last night I reverted to 15mg and I intend to stay on it. I think it is worth remembering that taking drugs that &#039;mess with our heads&#039; is not like taking pain killers. If 15mg is good it does not mean that 30mg is better."
