I'm somewhat tempted to try switching the sertraline for mirtazepine, because I dont think it does much for me..... over the years, I have tried paroxetine, fluxoetine, citralopam and sertraline, and none of them realy did much..... reboxetine is good for my depression, but I'd like to see how mirtazapine went with my anxiety....except for the weight gain issue..... i have a stocky build as it is, and have always had to work to keep my weight down.
What my therapist is doing is cognitively based mindfulness meditation..... I could easily get a CBT therapist up here, but i have deicded I will give this a go and see how it helps, I can alwans switch over to CBT later.
I (and my psychiatrist) both beleive that my problem is biochemical, I dont have any "issues", my mother didnt make me wear a dress, my father didnt beat me, so i dont think traditional psychotherapy has much to offer, but I'm keen to give this stuff a go as an add-on to drug therapy
