Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I'm curious if anyone here is on Remeron/Mirtazapine for depression.

Sorry, no. I was on Celexa.

I am on Mirtazapine and citalopram for depression and Abilify for psychosis.

Yes I took mirtazipine for depression. I didn't see much help from it and primarily mine was to aid with getting to sleep through the night.

This drug as actually made me worse. No interest in daily things I loved to do. Angry all the time. Crying spells. Foggy headed. Have lost a significant amount of weight to where I'm dangerously underweight. I'm on 22.5mgs a day. I want to come off this drug but I don't know how to without severe withdrawls. Been on it since the end of Feb of this year. Help!!

Really your doctor should have a plan to reduce amount per day over a period of time that's safe for you to stop taking it. Escitalopram is a better drug for me but guess what there is no magic one pill fix all. Depression is a complex devastating thing to live with and what works for one may not be what helps you. I will pray that you are able to remove this drug from your care plan and suffer no ill effects. Namaste

Thank you so much. I never really suffered from depression before but now on this drug I am! I suffer mainly from anxiety and panic attacks which both have been worse with being on Remeron. Plus I have developed agoraphobia to top it off. I'm just declining rapidly and don't know how to get out of this dark hole. This drug is horrible.
