"i live in the uk and have sufferred with undiagnosed depression until i was 8 years old. since diagnosis i&#039;ve bumped along the bottom with little or no real help from my gp&#039;s. after 13 years i insisted i was referred to a sleep clinic. i was sent to a neurologist. he put me on mirtazapine to help me sleep. it did help greatly and i am now able to get through the day without any overwhelming need to sleep. i was kept on cipralex whilst i went onto the mirtazapine and could tolerate the new medication well. i have tried to come off the cipralex but have not done too well without it. so i remain on 45mg mirtazapine, 20mg of cipralex and a vitamin supplemet of 400 iu&#039;s per day."
