Does anyone have experience with Mirtazapine?

Posted by faithshouse @faithshouse, Jun 20, 2019

My husband has trouble staying asleep, and falling back to sleep when he awakens during the night. It concerns him, but we wouldn't say that he is depressed. He had heard about Mirtazapine for sleeping. His doctor prescribed 15 mg. Has anyone had side effects, or depression while taking Mirapine? Is it more for depression, than for sleeping? Thanks for your feedback.

I only just started on mirtazapine following the death of my daughter. I don't like the side effects - sleepiness, dizziness, thought of weight gain. Some nights rather than allow me to get a good sleep I'm awake for most of the night. Think I'd be better of using CBT and will check things out with my doctor.
