Lorazepam can be addictive. I caution use of this. It also caused my speech to slur. And made me more at risk for falls, which happened and I broke my leg. So please be careful if you choose this drug.
Hello! I am very glad Remeron is helping you. I recognize everyone is different, but just as a precaution, I gained over 20 pounds in one month on Remeron. Just wanted to let you know so you are aware. Good luck!❤️

Had insomnia for years. My Dr prescribed oral progesterone and it has been great. Fall to sleep naturally and no after effects next day. Take it about 1 hr before bedtime. Staying on strict sleep schedule as well. Get outside in first 2 hrs of morning to get natural light for at least 15 min.
Best sleep ive had in years.
I just started topical yam cream progesterone for my sleep issues (wake at 3/4/5 and cannot get back to sleep). I am wondering how long the pills took until you noticed a difference. Thank you.
What dose of mirtazapine do you take? Does it help you sleep through the night? I fall asleep, but wake after 4 hrs and can't get back to sleep. I tried it once at 7.5mg but was so tired the next day I never took it again. The tiredness lasted 3 days. I was thinking of trying it again at half that dose.
I was on 7.5 then 15 mg of Mirtazapine for 6 months . I have 7 different chronic digestive disorders for 11 years now .
I rarely weigh myself as I’ve been same weight ( probably 40 lbs over what I should be ) for 15 years.
I weighed myself after 6 months on the drug and I gained 10 lbs !! I’m so sick 🤢 and was eating even less than usual. I didn’t put the 2 together til I just read comments.
I take 10 mg Ambien for years . Was on 5 mg for 4 years now 10 mg .
It only keeps me asleep 💤 3-4 hrs at most . I decided to break in half , take 5 mg at bedtime and 5 mg at midnight when I wake up again . It seems to work better for me that way .
I’m off the antidepressant now . Honestly probably need to go back on one because my digestive disorders are so bad and chronic , it’s getting me so down . I’m crying too much . Best wishes on finding the right thing to help you sleep. Even when I do sleep o have such fatigue in daytime ;( .

I’ve been taking 7.5 mg for about a year as well as see a sleep therapist who’s great. She’s the one who prescribed it. I’m groggy initially when I wake up but it pretty much goes away. I’ve tried a variety of things, including cognitive behavior therapy but this is the first thing that helps me sleep through the night in years. I have times when I don’t sleep great, but overall, it has made a difference in my life! I’ve toyed with cutting it back, but haven’t done so yet.

what dosage of lorazepam were you on?
I’ve been on mirtazapine since June and was aware of the weight gain issue. Just gained a couple pounds. Well worth it for me

I've found getting a good night's sleep helps.
