Anxiety :: Which Antidepressant To Take - Have Tried 11 Types

I have taken antidepressants mainly for anxiety for many years.  I have had 11 different antidepressants, switching mostly because of side effects, or when they didn't work too well.  I am currently taking Paroxetine, which works fairly well but has some nasty side effects.

Last Monday I saw a really helpful psychiatrist, and when I told her I look meds up online, she encouraged me to look up the two meds that she was suggesting (Mirtazapine and Pregabalin) and make up my own mind. 

There are plenty of research papers and there's Wikipedia, and med sites, all based on scientific studies.  Very useful but I think it's a bit limited because they decide what questions to ask people.  I really would like to know more about people's own personal experiences of taking this stuff, because I don't see a lot of that on patient leaflets or online med sites.

So anyone who would like to share experiences (it worked, it didn't work, side effects etc),  I'd like to hear from you. 

My first priority is making a decision next week about having Mirtazapine or Pregabalin,  but after that I would also be interested in people's experiences with other antidepressants, including the ones I used to take.
