I have been suffering from depression since 2011 and now I am taking paxitin-25 and mirtazapine - 7.5 before going to bed. I wake up early in the morning feeling drowsy and feel drowsy the entire day. I asked my doctor that I am not getting proper sleep and has poor appetite. After that he has prescribed me the above medicines. Is it safe to take it?

Dear user. I can understand. Depressive disorder or depression is a neuro chemical disorder. Suicidal tendency is one main symptom of depression. You must be able to distinguish between mental disease and mental disorder. Your problem is a mental disorder. Not a mental disease. These mental disorders are usually treated with a combination of medicines and other means like awareness, meditation, psychotherapy techniques, life style changes etc. Take care.

The medications you are taking are Anti Depressants and not harmful but both the medications are in inadequate doses, you require a detailed evaluation and as suggested Psychotherapy is also helpful but with proper and adequate medication

Good day. Thank you for reaching out here for help. Just be aware that medicine is just one part of treatment like depression as it most can help you to supress only the symptoms. However if you notice, the actual root cause behind your depression could be your negative thoughts, overthinking, fear etc. As body and mind are closely interconnected, any such imbalance in emotions can easily affect the physical conditions to cause disturbed sleep, nervousness, headaches, body pain, constipation, lack of interest and many more. Be positive. In addition to the medicine, you also need to adopt few non medicine treatment plan like changes in your lifestyle, dietary changes, few psychotherapy techniques, excersise etc. Feel free reach me online for further evaluation and recommendation. Be positive. You will be alright soon.

Also, it would be good if you had your dinner and those medicines about 1.5 to 2 hours before your bedtime. That way, the effect of those medicines will start early and you will not be as drowsy in the morning. After a while if still the drowsiness persists, please consult the doctor who advised you the above combination for any modification.
