Mirtazapine
"Prescribed in tandem with Effexor for suicidal depression. Useful initially for sleep and anxiety reduction, but no noticeable effect on depression. Side effects hard to tolerate: significant weight gain (15 pounds in 6 weeks); excessive sedation during daytime; sore, dry eyes; stomach pains; bladder pains and trouble urinating; coordination problems. Overall, feel "toxic". Could deal with this if drug was effective, but I'm tapering off it asap. Would not wish to discourage anyone who might benefit from taking this medication, but side effect profile is not fun."
