> I got about 10 months out of it and it worked quite well until it pooped out. Everyone is different give it a go but as I said to you earlier I found ropinirole much better for SP and GAD and with an SSRI. But I'm on zoloft not luvox now
Thanx.
I've actually decided to stick with mirtazapine a bit longer, at least 'till I see my pdoc next in 3 weeks. After some hard thought, I think it would be good to stay on for several reasons: it has low incidence of interaction with other meds (I could add an SSRI and/or ropinirole), it has no negative sexual side effects - enhances it in fact (good if I do add an SSRI), plus I know my pdoc likes using this drug alot (why I dont know) so I'm sure he'd have lots of ideas for it.
MY idea (to tackle my depression, SP & OCD) is to keep the mirtazapine + clonazepam & add an SSRI (probably fluvoxamine 1st - for the SP & OCD effects) as well as a dopaminergic (maybe ropinirole or low-dose selegiline) or maybe just an SSRI with dopaminergic effects (I forgot which ones).
