Hi, HG and ed_uk, thanks for your replies.
As an update, I have recently tried Mirtazapine/Remeron but it completely knocked me out for 2 days! A very bad 'anticholinergic?' reaction apparently. Nefazodone did not do this to me at all, which I find odd as these two drugs are supposed to belong to a similar category, (NARI's). If Trazodone does this to you as well HappyGirl, then I would be wary of starting on it. Although I am pretty desperate to find something which alleviates depression/anxiety like Nefazodone did for me. I cant help wondering why these drugs are considered similar when they have such different side effects?
Anyway thanks for your inputs, anyone elses experiences with these meds are always of value to me.
