I was prescribed mirtazapine 3 weeks ago due to severe depression anxiety and panick attacks haven't been out the house for 12 weeks that's how bad I got anyway on the 4th day of the 30th helps me drift off nice to sleep. Depression has subsided a little but still having my anxiety. I take diazepam for this to get me through the day. How long does it take to go with anxiety? Also I have been getting really bad leg pain and cramps. Has anyone experienced this? My appetite come back a little I lost two stone in 5 weeks due to depression so hoping to get my appetite back as well. Any information or guidance would be grateful. Thank you. I'm 37 with 3 beautiful children. I just want to be my happy self again.
Mirtazapine 30mg - just been increased to 30mg from 15mg 4 days ago. Does anyone get leg pain?

Hi ... Sorry your going thru this I so know how this is for 2 years I sat more n more in my room until one day I was froze on my bed. I was already on a low dose Xanax how ever it was not enough. I finally took a great medication. Cymbalta... At 20mg by day 3 I was feeling human again. No crying no panic oh and I went to Ativan 1mg 1 a day. So I took half n morning half at bed time.. As time went on by start of week two I was out of the house and actually week 3 I was shopping. I tryed to go up to 30mg but was agitated so I went back to 20. I feel normal. I tryed 30 mg twice and it's not for me however I did not know this would do so well I'm very sensitive to meds. Now I tell everyone to at least try. My night panics r gone and none in day on both meds. Ask your doctor to switch up to these two meds let me know how u do. Feel better
I also have a group chat 2 times a month and 1 on 1 when I need so it helps to talk too. Good luck p.s. my depression has been hardly showing and my kids say I act way different like I used to so give it a try start at 20 n go up in dose cuz if 20 works why mess with it ...
