My OH has been on 7 or so different anti-d's over the past 5 years and we're fast running out of options. She's currently on mirtazapine (sp?) which although she's only been on it for about 4 weeks we really don't think is a suitable option for her. She's terribly restless and can't sleep properly - she also takes haloperidol and atenolol and has resorted to taking tramadol before bed so she can at least get a few hours sleep.
So far she's been on - Effexor, Zoloft, Luvox, Lofepramine, Arrapax, Citalopram and Paroxetine. She can't take any more SSRI's as she developed Seratonin Syndrome after the Citalopram and nearly ended up being admitted with seizures.
We're seeing the GP again on the 11th and not sure whether to keep on with the mirtazapine or try something else. She has a current diagnosis of severe depression, severe panic disorder and agorapobia although the psychiatrist is looking at changing those.
