Switching medication.

[Koriandr]

I feel like my current medication isn't working as well as I had hoped it would.
I've been on remeron for PTSD for about three weeks now and at first, it worked wonderfully to put me to sleep, but now I find myself only getting really dizzy and waves of nausea and headaches instead of getting sleepy, and it's not helping any of my depressive symptoms or my PTSD symptoms.

I asked a pharmacist recently about it, and she told me that the medication is still working, but it doesn't feel like its working anymore, it just feels like a nuisance that messes up my sleep patterns and makes me eat a lot of the wrong foods.

I'm unsure of whether or not I should stop taking my medication. I don't feel better, I feel worse, and I know I'm not supposed to stop taking my meds without help from my doctor but I think I either want to stop taking the remeron right now or switch to a more effective pill for my PTSD/depression.

So yes? No?
Stop medication, continue medication, or switch?

mirtazapine wasn't effective for me as well as alot of ssri's, it's worth asking to switch, there are lots out there...can just take a while to find somethign that "helps" as such. the only thing about switing that i worried about was that it was probs less helpful for moods/emotions as it is messing with your brain chemistry..
