Are anti-depressants good for anxiety? / myLot

December 16, 2018 6:16am CST

I am taking anti-depressants. I still have anxiety and depression. The weather affects me. My sleep is affected. I visited 4 doctors. They said that I will never be healthy again. And that I don't have chances to recover. This made me very sad. I tried almost all anti-depressants. Now I am taking two different anti-depressants. Are anti-depressants good for anxiety and depression?

Your doctor should be the best one to answer this question.

I guess if the doctors prescribed you that then it might be good for your condition. Else if you’re still in doubt go for a second opinion with another doctor.

I have tried different kinds of antidepressants. I am taking Mirtazapine at the moment. It helps but it doesn't remove my depression completely. I also use Mirtazapine as anxiety medication. My doctor told me that he chose that one, because it also helps against anxiety. It doesn't remove my anxiety, but it does reduce my anxiety.
