hi, its not known whether you are following prescriptions of multiple psychiatrists at one go because 4 anti-depressants ( mirtazapine, escitalopram, venlafaxine, paroxetine ) are not really a good cocktail..one or two anti-depressants at optimum doses should be tried first, followed by some augmenting agents..please re-schedule by visiting your psychiatrist and follow only one advice..your thyroid status needs to be checked..thanks
