I am increasingly becoming concerned that this medication (Mirtazapine) isn't really suiting me. It is making me feel constantly lethargic, quite dizzy, I am eating non stop and putting on weight. I am seeing the doctor on Friday and will ask him whether it would be good to change it back to the fluoxetine.

My mood is still quite low, partly because I am now starting to doubt I will be ready for work, even after half term. I am OK at home but I really need to get my life back to normal.  As I have said previously, I am looking forward to going back to teaching but I have to be 100%.   

I am however looking to the future, I am  looking at things to fill the gaps in my life.  I have emailed a couple of organisations where I might be able to use my experiences of depression to benefit others.  Watch this space for more details.
