Remeron/Mirtazapine stopped working

[concession]

Looking for people with more antidepressant experience who wanna share their take.

I am already taking the maximum dose that can be perscribed and in the last months the effect has diminished from feeling like life is something I cherish and enjoy every day (first month or two on remeron) to a point where I feel almost the same as I have felt before taking the substance.
But this made me even more passive, prone to irresponsible decision making and I have started to gain weight, so my overall situation is worse than what I had before taking this medication.

I will obviously speak about tapering off or some other alternative with my doctor, but I just wanted to gather some opinions somewhere I feel kinda safe. I am afraid that my psychiatrist is more interested in keeping me in a passive state to keep me from killing myself than actually helping me improve.

I am not a danger to people around me (or to put more precisely medication is not at all affecting how dangerous I am to other people).

What would you do in a situation like this? Should I jump off any medication altogether before it is too late for me? Is every substance like this?

It can take trying multiple meds to find one that works for you. It sucks, but it can take a long time.

It took me trying a bunch of SSRIs that never worked and then my first SNRI did work.

You are still miserable though, no?

tried a few SSRI but none of em worked on me, one made me crazy suicidal other including remeron just made everything "gray" once i stopped taking them everything felt more alive colors was more vibrant etc. a while ago a doctor in rehab wanted me to try one SSRI he just could not say enough good thing about it but i just refused because i will never try SSRI again.

one singel LSD trip worked mutch better then a year or so on SSRI for me.
unless you have schizophrenia or someting like that i would recommend psychedelic over SSRI everyday
