The part about feeling separate from other people, do you think that could be depression? (which can have both situational and biochem components)

This is one of the reasons I think Mozart may have had Asperger's. He seriously believed he was poisoned.

Now, you know with depression and antidepressant medication,

sometimes it's not the first medicine that works, right?
(and sometimes also important to phase down from medication in steps even if it doesn't seem to be working)

And do you feel like your doctor is someone you can halfway talk with? (doctors such poor communicators, 'halfway talk with' is about the most can be realistically expected ! )

If you're still taking mirtazapine, it does typically make people feel weird. It has central nervous system effects. There are some head exercises you can do that sometimes help with vertigo, which might be better for you than taking mirtazapine. You could ask your doctor about them, or look them up online, but talk to your doctor before stopping the mirtazapine, it's never a great idea to stop taking a medication without at least informing whoever prescribed it that you are doing so, some meds shouldn't be stopped suddenly.

Or, if gets really bad, as having a backup plan available right now, you could just go down to half on your own. And then call up the doctor's office and just tell them, Hey, it got really bad, I've gone down to half on my own, may I get the next available appointment.

This does open up a positive possibility.

And as far as feelling weird, in kind of a good way, kind of a bad way, or kind of a mixed bag where you can't yet tell. :?

In his book "Hello to All That: A Memoir of Zoloft, War, and Peace", the author John Falk sometimes felt that way. (and prozac didn't help him at all, but zoloft helped him a lot. And the funny thing, both are SSRIs. maybe different delivery mechanisms. Once again, all of our biochem is just a little different)

I have struggled with depression, sometimes seriously, sometimes not.

But of course everyone is different. That's why it's so important to have a doctor you can kind of talk with, who can either be a psychiatrist or a regular doctor like an internist who has some horse sense. Here at WP we can help you ask good questions. We can serve as a sounding board. We can do that.

Define weird. (I'm both an aspie and a nurse so, yeah, you'd have to be more specific).
