Yes, I got mixed up, Mirtazapine was prescribed alongside an SSRI, I knew it was one of the two. So I shouldn't be getting the full side-effects of an SSRI (I didn't realise I was on two antidepressants...).
But I visited the doctor, who gave me good advice and encouragement and told me that it's simply a matter of being ready. It's different for everyone, and she said four months is hardly a point of concern in her eyes (Best not tell some of my friends that, four months would be an eternity...). I might experience a lessened sexual appetite, but it also being my first time she suspects that there's more to it than simply looking for a convenient medical side-effect.
In other words, just give it time. She says when it happens it will have been worth the wait.
Hope she's right.
