MIRTAZAPINE vs OLANZAPINE

http://i.imgur.com/5Gcb8.jpg A year ago, I was sitting in the middle of class and just up and decided I wanted to be dead, so I got on the next bus to the train station. A man saw me crying and sat next to me and asked me what was wrong, I told him what I was going to do because, well who gives a sh

In this post I'm going to give you a bunch of tips that can help you with your anxiety and depression and not only that but explain some of the science behind it in a way that's easy to understand. I've had anxiety and depression for 15 years and have tried a huge array of medications, tried differe

SSRIs didn't do shit. Nor mirtazapine. Nor CBT. Nor counselling. Nor even stimulants now. I genuinely despise the words "attitude" and "mindset" and wish to see them permanently expunged from the English vocabulary. Incidentally, none of the counsellors or therapists I've seen over the years have us

What happens next? I facelessly type my problems into the internet and hope that strangers will be able to change my outlook or something. I'm not sure what I actually fucking expect. I'm just lonely and scared and tired. UPDATE: Thank you so much everyone for the kind words, advice and just letting

Hey all. I was officially diagnosed with depression and anxiety about 2 years ago. But I was a stubborn person back then and refused to have any meds. I even stopped therapy after a while. Fast forward to the last week, I restarted therapy and the new doc has prescribed me Mirtazapine for the time b

If you're anything like me, when I am looking into a new drug or beginning to take a new drug I go to the internet to look for common side-effects and other people's personal experiences. I'm bored so I am going to write out my experience/s with Mirtazapine over the last 3 years for anyone looking i

This February marks the end of my (27M) 3rd year on Remeron / Mirtazapine, a non-SSRI antidepressant. Reddit was the only reason I even asked about it, so I’m posting a review for anyone thinking about starting antidepressants, who also might be scared of the side effects many people experience with

I started taking the antidepressant Mirtazapine back in late August. It was to help manage my depression and anxiety. I can't really speak to its effect on those two issues, but I had another issue: chronic, intractable migraines every day that lasted hours upon hours. And the Mirtazapine completely

January marks my 1 year on Mirtazapine, and it has been incredible for me! I have suffered from pretty bad panic attacks and depression since I was 13, and was never medicated (with an antidepressant) till a year ago. It was the perfect drug for me, as I struggle to sleep at night and needed to gai

Risperidone made me lactate... yep Latuda made me throw up every single time I took it Olanzapine made me feel like I was drunk Seroquel made me gain 40kg and Lamotrigine gave me the rash

I couldnt read for almost 10years so maybe even longer. I didn't track the time. I was always a big reader. I finished 700page russian literature in a week. But for some reason I wasn't able to do this anymore. I could barely focus on a few Paragraphs, so I stopped reading. I tried it several times

8 years stable now on olanzapine, but i sleep 10 hrs each day which is alot for someone who wants to study alot, i switched to abilify 20 days now, everything is good but i have insomnia from olanzapine withdrawal, how much time will it take for me to sleep normal again?

So they admitted me to the psych ward a few days ago after my last post. The first night i couldn't keep my blankie and blew up and punched the shit out of my face so i have two big black eyes and my whole right hand is greeny purple. When the psychiatrist saw me the next morning (sobbing and hyster

i have a ton of questions that i would love to unload on people. but just for now i would like to know one thing... i have meds now "olanzapine" through my psychiatrist. what is something you wish you knew before taking your meds that you know now? also im not worried about the meds, i'm just being

I’m 30. I have struggled with this my whole life , unbeknownst to me. I went to multiple doctors and counselors, especially after I had my kids and was crying to them telling them there is something wrong with me please figure it out. They did labs and all kinds of testing. They told me it was in m

Anyone else have bipolar and told you have to take meds for life? I am worried about the long term effects of the meds but I am also worried about how I would do if I went off them. I am currently doing great. My meds are zyprexa/olanzapine and lithium.

And holy shit do I stink now. Not my whole body, mostly the armpits and it's like the really sharp and nasty sweat smell that usually comes from men who don't know what a deodorant is. This is what I wake up to every morning, F31 (Oh hey, that's the code for BP, never noticed this). Tbf I sweat exc
