Does anyone have experience with Mirtazapine?

I read some of those reviews and something puzzles me.

My understanding is that the lower the doze the higher the sedative effect.

In some reviews people start @15/30mg, are wiped out and they LOWER the sedation by CUTTING the pill in 2,4, even 8 pieces, which is inconsistent. Others double the doze to increase sedation.

So, if the initial doze does not work hiw do you know what to do -- cut or double???????

My pills were 15 mg and I cut them in half and took 7.5 mg. That helped me sleep but I was too groggy during the day so discontinued using it and went back to Trazodone. I would ask your pharmacist or Dr for the lowest dose pill available so it's easier to cut in half and start with less and see if that helps with sleep without daytime sleepiness.
