In today's video I explore the taboo that surrounds taking medication for mental illness. I also talk about my personal experience of taking the anti depressant Mirtazapine (Zispin / SolTab / Remeron) including the early side effects, how and when to take it and how long it took to work. Hopefully it will give you some food for thought and a little insight if you're considering medication for your mental health and might also help us all to question why there is such a taboo surrounding medication for mental illness and help us question.
