"i was prescribed this by my new doctor for severe anxiety and resultant depression of two years. sleep had been disturbed and appetite was very low. i had lost 12kg (63 to 51) in two years and was not myself. i have been taking it for 8 days and i am feeling better, eating and looking forward to my future again. i take before i sleep - sleep is sound but vivid dreams (not bad, just stranger than usual). this is okay as previously i had very distressing dreams. it has not affected my libido as the ssri i tried last year did. feeling more positive and relaxed on mirtazepine."
