mirtazapine (generic for remeron)
i am starting this noradrenergic and specific serotonergic (NaSS) antidepressant tomorrow evening and i have some background info and questions:
-i just stopped taking 20mg of citalopram (i was put on it for anxiety not depression) every morning for the past 6 months for anxiety because it did not help as much as i would have liked and my doc won't prescribe me benzos.
-i was put on mirtazapine as a substitute to see how it would effect me compared to citalopram and it's also because my doc won't give me benzos for anxiety b/c of "drug user" on my chart.
-has anyone had experience with this anti-d for anxiety or depression? how did it work for you?
-what does the noradrenergic aspect of this do in addition to the SSRI effects i experienced on citalopram?
-what kind of drug is this exactly? i was told it's not a SSRI but very similar. i'm not on it for depression so i'm still planning on using alcohol and opiates recreationally with it as i was able to handle the drugs fine on citalopram.
any imput would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
