Does anyone have experience with Mirtazapine?

Hi there @contentandwell,
The answer is yes, we do try to have a pretty normal routine. Doing so sort of creates a rhythm of life. I am trying to be predictable, e.g. meds at the same times, yoga at the same time, etc. Of course, you know what gets me off track....yep, it is reading and responding to Mayo Connect posts.
I did find that when I stayed awake too long for a few nights, it was harder to fall asleep and/or I was nodding off in the afternoon. Besides, my chipmunk family will come and chirp under the bedroom window if I haven't gotten up to feed them.
I do have to lollygag in bed a bit in the morning or at least until my legs tell me that they won't give out on me when I get up. Sometimes they just refuse to work well and I have to give them a few hours off.
Be safe and protected tonight. Chris

@artscaping Chris, I consider it a major accomplishment that we are now generally eating dinner at around 6:30 every night. It had gradually crept up to eating at around 8:00, definitely too late. It does sometimes go to 7:00 now but that's on the edge of acceptable. My femur fracture has really set things off too. I had been getting up at a pretty regular time in the morning, about 7:30 or sometimes 6:30 to get to my health club, etc., but now since I am not going I sleep late a lot. I am thinking of resuming my membership in the next week and just go to the gym for upper body exercise. Honestly though, my leg is still really quite painful. I have been very conservative in my use of Tramadol, which has helped in the morning, but I am about to run out. I doubt the doctor will prescribe it again, they really err on the side of caution with the opioid epidemic.
