Hi,
In March 2013, I was diagnosed with major depression disorder (MDD) and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). I was then prescribed a combination of Venlaflaxine (Effexor 150mg) and Mirtazapine (Avanza 45mg). From that moment, my situation improved significantly: I no longer suffered from anxiety and I came out of depression. I have also been able to completely stop taking the anti-anxiety drugs (benzodiazepines). The Mirtazapine prevented some of the most common side effects of Venlafaxine.
I would like to know from those who take this combination of medicines is they feel it is beneficial, if it has side effects. So far I don't have any. I would also like to know your opinion about the effectiveness of this combination over the long term.
Thanks.
