I am on 15 mgs. of Mirtazapine and 100 mgs. of Clomipramine for OCD, anxiety and depression. The Mirtazapine was added to help me sleep. The way Mirtazapine works is the higher the dose the more it stimulates Norepinephrine. At 7 mgs. and 15 mgs. it produces more sedation. Sometimes when you are on different medications it’s hard to tell what drug is causing the increase in anxiety. And the change doesn’t happen overnight. Changing medication demands a lot of time and patience. Hang in there and hopefully something clicks .

@mitch4444 so essentially at 15mg it’s pretty much just a sleep aid? I was at 30mg until 18th April and doing OK, I then dropped to 15mg and was good at first but last couple of weeks have been hell with anxiety and fatigue. I dropped to 50mg of sertraline back in February so I’m pretty sure it’s not that.
