Anyone Taking Mirtazapine for Sleep?

Hi, I started taking Mirtazapine around 15 years ago. First at 30 mg per night and that put me out like a light. But after a year or so, my psychiatrist started lowering the dose. I had years of either sleeping well or not at all. My best sleep came back at 7.5 mg. There's a lot of research that says Mirtazapine works best for sleep at lower doses. Right now I'm down to 3.75 or half of the 7.5 mg pill. I take 2 mg of Melatonin with it and my sleep is great. Plus I lost all the excess weight I put on while taking Mirtazapine.
Trazadone didn't work for me at all.
I do take Lexapro also. Best of luck

Thank you. One of these drugs has given me tinnitus. I have committed to taking them thru 4/22. We’ll see. Heard the same thing about 7.5 mirtazapine.

It’s only a week on it and last night was my first sleep. It was a broken up sleep but after not sleeping over two weeks it was a gift. I hope it continues. I have suffered from insomnia since 2007 and anxiety too which alaprazleom really helped me sleep but my doctor won’t give it to me anymore .
