"before taking this medicine, i had severe anxiety/depression. i was constantly nauseous to the point where i quit eating and got down to 90lbs and was having panic attacks nonstop. i couldn&#039;t sleep. i just felt like i wanted to die because i didn&#039;t want to live my life like that anymore. i was so scared to try taking antidepressants for the first time because i&#039;ve read so many bad things. but i finally did it and i&#039;ve been on 15mg mirtazapine for about a month and a half now and i can&#039;t remember the last time i had a panic attack, i don&#039;t want to die anymore, i sleep through the night, and i can eat again! i do still have some general anxiety but this medication has saved my life!! i actually feel like myself again and am able to function"
