Brief Answer:
You are on right drugs

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

I can understand your concern. Excessive flatulence occurs mostly due to gastrointestinal problems. But some times in some individuals due to irritable bowel such symptoms might occur.

You are responding to Mirtazapine, Dosulepin and Clonazepam and most likely these drugs are controlling your anxiety and irritable bowel symptoms and this is the reason of your improvement.

Try to avoid using Clonazepam regularly because the drug might cause dependence. Mirtazapine helps in controlling symptoms in doses of 7.5-15 mg doses. Dosulepin in 75-150 mg doses is optimal for your symptoms.

Thanks, Hope this helps you, if you have more doubts you can ask again.

Take care
