It's actually somewhere on here. I'm on Remeron, also called Mirtazapine. It's a dual drug, in that it's supposed to treat both depression and anxiety. That's not to say it will work for anyone else, the same as it does for me. I can't take SSRI's without having seizures, where as many others can. I just got damn lucky with this, as it was the last drug they could try. I was out of options and damned if it didn't work.

Also a note to people. Finding the right medication can take years.. not weeks or months.. so if your going down this road be prepared for the long haul until they find what lessens your symptoms.
