Seems like it is the way to go (now I need to find a doctor who won't be afraid of prescribing it. Most doctors are solely focused on SSRIs & SSNRIs and go berserk if you even mention stuff like TCAs and - even worse - MAOI *lol*)
I tried augmenting Sertraline with Mirtazapine, and in some respects it was nice, but gave me terrible agitation in my feet & toes. I presume that is the notorious RLS?
