Anyone Taking Mirtazapine for Sleep?

I've just started taking 15mg at night for sleep about a week ago. So far I have not experienced any improvement in my sleep patterns. I am, however hungry all the time.

I've recently lost thirty five pounds and need to lose another twenty five to reach a healthy weight. I can not afford to gain weight as I believe the excess weight is a significant contributor to my depression.

I am so tired of side effects from medication and the providers who dismiss them.

I do not believe I can achieve good mental health if my physical health is a mess. The body and the mind are one integrated system.

Yeah, I'm frustrated.

My adult son was just started on Mirtazapine 7.5 mg at bedtime. Weight gain would not be a problem for him right now as he is underweight, but I wonder if you should ask your doctor for a lower dose?

I completely understand and am in a similar situation. These health issues are so debilitating and frankly devastating for any kind of normal life.
