My Dr also prescribed Mirtazapine, I didn't like what I read when I looked it up so I didn't take it. I took Trazodone for years. I also had pretty severe leg and feet pain every night. When the Trazodone stopped helping with sleep and I went off of it all the pain stopped. I took a Trazodone a few months later and again horrible leg and foot pain all night. I now take Quetiapine which helps me sleep pretty well with little problems. I don't respond well to antidepressants and psych meds and really don't like taking them. In fact there are very few I will take for my chronic depression and anxiety, I don't want to be forced to take them in order to sleep. I think they can cause all kinds of problems

I was on quetipine for 12 months for sleep but stopped due to weight gain and becoming pre diabetic . I did not eat more - weight gain caused by metabolic changes
