I started Mirtazapine at 15mg.. taken at bedtime. For the first time in months, I slept 8 hrs. straight. That was 5 yrs. ago. I now take 45 mg. at bedtime and usually sleep 6-7 hrs. straight. It has had little effect on my anxiety that I notice. Or my depression . It is basically my sleeping pill. No side effects. Just my story.

Thank u.

How old were you when you started it? I am 74 and there are warnings for the elderly.

Given the way it works, why the doze increase? Too sedative? Was it direct from 15 to 45 and after how long?

By "without any effect" you mean the sedative effect is not VIA anxiety and depression -- you take smtg else for them?

Any weight gain? Other conditions preclude that for me.

No side effects AT ALL?
