Mirtazapine and propanalol

Been started in these as fluoxetine and sertraline didn’t work for me. Too scared to take them after the side effects I suffered from the other two, anyone give me positive stories about mirtazapine or propanalol for anxiety and low mood? Thanks

Mirtazapine made me sleep
And put on severe weight. I have tried few different medications nothing so positive for me. I have severe ptsd and anxiety.

I was on sertraline and mirtzapine was added to that. It really makes me sleep well and has helped with low mood. I had a bout of depression before Xmas and mirtzapine started working within two weeks.

Propranolol has been really good for me. No side effects at all just feel calmer and not sick with anxiety.

I wish I'd stuck with mirtzapine when my GP prescribed it but after one dose it made me feel wiped out and I couldn't wake up properly. I was put on escitalopram, an SSRI instead. I had horrible side effects on escitalopram which never went away and even worse discontinuation symptoms coming off it.
