depression anxiety restlessness and panic attacks are best respond to a combination of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris) and benzodiazepines. mirtazapine is not the most efficient ant depressant and it is not a true ssri as fluoxetine paroxetine citalopram and sertraline are. i recommend 20 to 40mg of paroxetine (slowly titrated up from 10mg) and 1mg of either clonazepam or ativan (lorazepam) every 8 hours as needed for anxiety. glaucoma precludes use of any anticholinergics such as hydroxyzine or benadryl (diphenhydramine). ssris are also at times likely to make glaucoma worse but a preliminary trial is always worth it. revert back to a psychiatrist online for further help --> <link>
