Comparing Mirtazapine vs Vistaril

For Depression I'm taking 15mg for ~2 months the problem is that 15mg is not enough for depression and when I take 30MG I will have a lot of anxiety .So it is not bad in low dosage be aware of increased anxiety when you take it in 30MG or more. I'm thinking to take it in low dosage 15MG with another drugI will check with my PD.

For Depression Having been prescribed citalopram, sertraline and diazepam in the past, I was sceptical that this would work. It's very early days, but it does seem to have a very calming effect. Main downside is I am very sleepy so would advise taking it at bedtime.

For Anxiety I'm on SSD because of severe Social Anxiety Disorder, Bi-polar Disorder II with panic, and OCD. I've run the gamut with benzos and frankly, am better off without them. They're too addicting. Vistaril is a nice alternative. It's milder and is about 75% as effective as say, Klonopin or Ativan. It works for me.

For Anxiety My mother has cancer. With that she has anxiety. The Dr prescribed her vistaril 25mg. Granted it kinda helps anxiety but it contributes to hallucinations. When I leave her off of it she has anxiety when she takes it, her dreams are vividly real. Weigh your options or decrease dosage but if a loved one is taking this medication before mental diagnosis try replacing or removing this drug for at least 48 hrs.
