I take it with all my night pills before I go upstairs to go to bed. Then I read for about 15-20 minutes and all the pills kick in. It helps me sleep. I also do cycles of diaphragmatic breathing to lessen my anxiety. I fluctuate between 15 and 30 mg. of mirtazapine depending on how early I have to get up.

Thanks for your response. I took 30 mg last night and found my anxiety worse today. I know there may be an uncomfortable period when increasing the dose, but I have surgery scheduled next week and feel it is not a time to risk more anxiety. I did not find the 30 mg made me sleepy. You are lucky! I struggle with sleep and I think the lower dose helps me sleep better, although I am not sure about anxiety. I plan on giving the 15 mg a good 6-8 weeks before considering an increase. Any other tips or things you’ve learned about Mirtazipine, I’d love to know.
Thank you!
