Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Rational medication: management seeks optimal dose response to one medication and, if unsuccessful, then switch to another medication. Combining medications requires careful consideration/monitoring. Both Effexor (venlafaxine) and (Remeron) mirtazapine increase serotonin levels and the combination requires close monitoring. Psychotherapy, mindfulness, and healthy lifestyle help in Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Cheers
