Both mirtazepine and venalafaxine are good options but it depends on your age and comorbidities, details of which need further clarification. I will go for starting only one drug after finding out which will be most appropriate in your condition.

Mirtazapine is fine, you need to taper and stop zolpidem which is addictive and carries long term risks. Discuss with your psychiatrist. All the best.

Dear Imityaz,
Instead of mirtazapine and its dose, you need to learn a non medical management of stress. Interviews are normal daytoday stress like exams. You will be facing them often. It does not need mirtazapine. Mirtazapine is not a sedative to make you sleep better. Sedation is a side effect of mirtazapine.
Please learn Jacobson's deep muscle relaxation exercise or yoga/pranayama or meditation or anything your family members ask you to practice.

Dear Nikhil,
Probably she would not have come out of depression and she stopped the tablets only on symptomatic relief. It is better to consult the doctor and then stop the medicines. Now that she is depressed, let her consult the doctor again and start the medicines. Sometimes, the same medicines in the same dose may not work that well for a relapse.

If tegretol is causing rashes please stop it. There are better mood stabilisers depending on your condition. You are on too many medications. Please contact for further help.
