I saw my pdoc today and he's put me back up to 15mg Mirtazapine along with the 20mg Prozac. I think he felt guilty for taking me off it in the first place but he was only doing what he thought was best. He didn't want me to be on such a 'large cocktail of drugs' as he put it at only 19. Apparently my combination of prozac and mirtazapine is known as Californian Sunrise in the medical profession. So that was it really. He can't do much more for me at the moment until I've been on 15mg for a week. I'm seeing him again next week and if everything has gone OK he's suggested changing my mood stabiliser from Depakote to Lamictal as it has stronger antidepressant properties. Plus my hair is thinning with the Depakote.As for my mood at the moment it's pretty bad. I've just posted a thread on the boards called 'Reality Check' so if you'd like an update on how I'm feeling right now...go check there in either the Bipolar or Self Injury Forums. x-Bliss-x
