Citalopram or Mirtazapine for severe anxiety & depression

Dizzy

Anyone tried either Citalopram or Mirtazapine for anxiety &/or complex trauma? My 16 year old ASD transgender son struggles with almost constant severe anxiety & voices in his head and having had no luck on Sertraline, Fluoxetine, & especially not with anti-psychotics because they've realised he's not psychotic, they want him to start one of these other antidepressants. He's not convinced so we're trying to gather any evidence that these may or may not be effective so we can make an informed decision. Thanks in advance.

  • Thank you everyone, that's really helpful. Luckily our GP has offered to be on hand to help monitor how things go & answer any questions etc too, so we don't need to just rely on the CYPMHS psychiatrist, who suggested an appointment 2 months after starting a new med, which is nowhere near soon enough in my eyes!
