Hello

I`m taking Mirtazapine (Remeron/Zispin) plus Venlafaxine (Efexor). The Mirtazapine dose has remained the same throughout (30 mg), but the Venlafaxine dose started q. low (75 mg), and has gradually increased to 375 mg, which I have been on for 3 weeks.

The next stage will be to decrease the Venlafaxine doseage and to increase the Mirtazapine doseage. I don`t know when that will be.

If what I gather is correct, the point from which the period leading up to (hopeful) response is measured from the beginning of the highest doseage, which means that effectiveley I`ve been on the combination for 3 weeks. I THINK that this is right - I`ve always been confused about this.

?????????

What I was getting at in my original post was WOULD I necessarily have seen an improvement after the period of time that I`ve been taking this combo?

Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Anna.
