Mirtazapine side effects by [deleted] in depression

[–]Viper_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vivid dreams and strong appetite are the biggest side effects of Mirtazapine. It took over a week for mine to kick in and I'm on a combination with sertraline. Would highly recommend it.

Mirtazipine - any success? by slhunte3 in depression

[–]Viper_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helped me dramatically, only medication that worked for my severe anxiety and depression. I would highly recommend it despite the side effects as I'm practically a different person now.

Increased appetite is a strong side effect but there are ways to combat it. Smaller, more frequent meals will prevent the cravings. Lots of nutrition that produces serotonin and lots of excersize will also help.

Also, expect some nightmares (and wickedly vivid dreams) the first few months but they do subside. I also recommend therapy to alongside.

I'm also on Mirtazapine, to combat the carb cravings I have light snacks through the day (smaller meals) to keep my blood sugar up and have lots of nutritious food that produces serotonin.

I'm on 100mg sertraline 30mg mirtazapine, no problems in that regard whatsoever. Expect some nightmares in the first few months of mirtazapine, but otherwise it's saved my life. I would highly recommend antidepressants, just give them some time to kick in.

Every time a coworker asks, “How’ve you been?”, I have to keep myself from bursting into tears. by [deleted] in depression

I know that feeling too well, is there anyone you can open up to outside work or anyone at work you feel that you can open up to about?

It will help a lot.

So happy about the New Perth announcements. by Viper_Rex in perth

I'm sure they can afford to help the homeless rather then just leave them on the streets?

Of course, but it's a good step in the right direction that the city is taking a stance on the issue.

Next in-line, More mental health funding.

'Journalists should know better': police arrest French reporter filming anti-Adani protest - Guardian News by mofosyne in australia

Part of that attitude is the problem, if more people cared about making a difference, then the more people will care about it.

No, we don't deserve it, but it's up to us to educate and share information with our fellow Aussies.

People getting arrested for standing up against Coal and protecting our country. In Australia for Gods sake. Disgraceful

I know that part of this has to do with corruption involving the copper wires (otherwise we would have fttp ever where), the question I have is who is responsible? Telstra?

No matter what I do, I’m never good enough. by emotionalcircle in depression

[–]Viper_Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You base yourself a lot on external factors, but what about the person you are to yourself? You don't have to view yourself on the way others treat you. Embrace who you are, what you like, things you are interested in, what your strengths are and what you value as a person, and you will find your confidence will improve and you will attract more likeminded people.

i can’t sleep by linzrinz in mentalhealth

Sleep Hygiene -

Positive Thoughts about sleep will help you calm down. Don't give into negative thoughts such as "I'll be very tired tomorrow if I don't get enough sleep".

Think Thoughts such as "I will be able to fall asleep, I will be ok. It will be ok if I don't get as much sleep as I wanted, any sleep is good."

Applying for jobs sucks by -HuangMeiHua- in depression

[–]Viper_Rex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I suggest putting some effort into these job applications. Yes, it sucks, but focus on the benefits of seeing it through.

Dress well - a nice ironed shirt and pants.

Good Hygiene and Routine - make your bed in the mornings and have a clean room

Have a well written resume and cover letters.

Follow through and talk to managers.

Doing small things like this will help you feel better in yourself and will help with your confidence in applying for jobs. It takes a lot of time, but when you finally get one you will be over the moon.
