For Panic attacks and Generalised anxiety disorder, Seroxat is a good medicine. You have not written the preparation (Plain or CR), dosage and timings. If you are taking it in the morning then you can switch it to softer dinner.
Similarly you have not given details of Mirtazepine, timing and dosage. If you are taking 15 mg at night after dinner then reduce it to half tablet after dinner. This medicine causes more sedation. The dose of Mirtazepine can be gradually tapered with consultation of your Psychiatrist and may even be stopped at some point.
If you still feel sedated then the medicines can be gradually replaced with another medicine.
