That's why I throw away the side effects paper away that comes with my meds or I wouldn't take them I always have bad anxiety about new meds but now I will try them and if there is side effects I can't deal with I call my Doc or go see him

Hi , im on 45mg of mirtazapine a day i was warned it would make me drowsy at first i could hardly stay awake but it settled me and my anxiety and depression went and my mood lifted i felt great then i got used to it my symptoms are back and im back to the insomnia again chances are a small dose should be fine but talk to your gp if youre worried

Hi how did the mirtazapine work out for you? I’m too scared to try it after reading all the posts here

Wow! I was on 225 mg of Effexor. All my doctor ever did was increase it not try to add to it. I took adavan for the anxiety, I'm currently trying to go pill free and so far so good but HEY, don't stop taking this stuff, Its a killer for sure. The withdraw is horrible, even when you take it gradually.

My psychiatrist prescribed venlafaxine and Mirtazapine for me and it has really helped me a lot. I take the venlafaxine in the morning (75mg) and Mirtazapine (45mg) at night. I am sleeping better than I have for years, but I am not able to work at the moment, so I'm able to wake up naturally, but I feel much more like getting up once I'm awake. The Mirtazapine has also helped my appetite and I've managed to put some weight on (I had lost a lot of weight to the point of being underweight, so it's a helpful effect for me).
