"i have been taking mirtazapine 30mg for 3 days now added to 40mg of paxil, which i have been taking for 18 years.  the first few days were a haze but today i feel that my depression has lifted for the first time in many years and i have more energy.  my head still feels a bit cotton woolly and i have a bitter taste in my mouth today.  i hope this is a sign of good things to come."
