Anyone taking Mirtazapine? Is it working for you? Any side effects?

@crbarefoot

@archie13 I have been on the 30 mg dose of Remeron for about 7 months. I started it before an upcoming surgery that caused severe anxiety. I take it either at bedtime or about 30 minutes before bedtime. I have had zero side effects. I live in a state where medical marijuana is legal and I also take 3 drops of an indica tincture on my tongue right as I turn out the light. Sleeping like a champ. No anxiety. Hope this helps. Wish you all the best.

Taking 7.5 for sleep and it works well.

I took it for several years. It was not effective at all.

Take your time tapering off don't stop cold turkey like I did got brain zaps

I am currently taking it and I have had no problems.

I took it for three weeks and I felt like I was in a nursing home spaced out…. In La La Land and that was just on half a dose. It certainly didn’t help with memory. I could sit and stare at the walls and not even care. Not for me. I’m only 70.

I have been on 45 mg for about 2 years . It helped my stomach issues.

Yes, I’ve been tapering off 300mg Trazodone while introducing Mirtazapine. Of course, under Doctor care. And it is effective for me & no side effects. I’m so glad I spoke to my primary care provider about the issue I was experiencing & they heard me.

I used to take mirtazapine and gained weight and could never really loose it while on the med. Later an internist MD, not the prescriber, told me it is sometimes used for elderly women who don’t have an appetite. I think it also made me feel drugged the next morning quite often.
