> Wow, that's great. You get an antidepressant effect at that dose of mirtazapine? Interesting. I let my mirtazapine run out because I thought it wasn't doing anything. I've been sliding again, though. I was taking 30 mg. Hmmm.

> Your meds are nice and low. Only a few. Thank you for sharing your good news. Is the vitamin B12 sublingual? Did you work on your supplements with a doctor?Thanks Beckett! Yeah, I know I've read that higher doses are better...I was surprised how much of a lift I got just on 15mg. I might go back down to that dose as I'm not seeing much of a difference with the 22.5mg.
The vit b12 is subligual Solgar brand. I have a great new primary care doc who knows and suggests alternative treatments. Currently not seeing a pdoc anymore as was not getting better after 2+ years with that provider. I got a second opinion from different pdoc at same clinic who suggested the mirtazapine. Now I just plan on staying on this combo and see how it goes. I like that the doses are low and I can always go up to 200mg Lamictal and 30-45mg mirtazapine if symptoms return. I'm also thinking about trying higher doses of methylfolate again. I've tried Deplin before but not with mirtazapine. I would say at this point my depression is maybe at 70% remission right now. Thanks again for your comments. Have you ever tried mirtazapine above 30? herpills
