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

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).

Yea I do too but I made the mistake of extensively googling it

Thanks for responding! How long have you been on the combo? Im not currently working so that will make it easier with the drowsiness, the vivid dreams ppl talk about worry me . My PCP said that's all she can do , so I have to find a pyschiatrist and you know how long that takes.
