Default Medication changes - Scared!!

Guys I need some advice..

I have major depressive disorder and generalised anxiety disorder with a bit of OCD and anorexia thrown in. Long story short, I was on aropax (that worked for a while then stopped working), then I tried Effexor which didn't work at all, now I'm on 60mg Lovan (prozac) which I now have to come off. My experience with withdrawals from aropax and effexor were brutal, I needed to be hospitalised.

So, I saw my psychiatrist today and she presented me with 2 scripts. One was for Mirtazapine (avanza) and one was for Clomipramine (Anafranil). I've also been told to stop my valium for the minute (I was only on 5mg every other day before bed) and switch to seroquel 25mg before bed (I had the XR once, had horrible side effects) to ease my anxiety.

My question is, has anyone had any experience with these 2 drugs, avanza and anafranil, which one should I choose? I'm very athletic and the anorexia means I am obsessed with body image, so weight gain and sedation aren't great. However my psychiatrist said to try this one first. Also, any experiences of withdrawals from Lovan?

I know this isn't a drug forum but I was hoping someone may have had some experience. I'm scared out of my mind and my anxiety is through the roof. Not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, because the tunnel is about to get a whole lot darker. I don't want to end up back in that room with the camera and the bed in the emergency ward..
