"diagnosed with gad and depression about 5 months ago. had loads of cbt and therapy which helped a bit (thank you bupa) and 7 weeks on fluoxetine/prozac which had loads of side effects &amp; didn&#039;t seem to help. saw a psychiatrist who said stop the fluoxetine which is probably the most mood enhancing ad so good for depression not so much for anxiety and swapped me to 15mg mitrazapine 4 days ago which he said was far more calming. i slept 8 hours straight the first night, then 9 &amp; 9. anxiety almost gone &amp; not feeling depressed much. hopefully this continues, i know it&#039;s early days but i&#039;m actually looking forward to tomorrow which is a new feeling for me."
