Hey Justin

I take mirtazapine which i think is the same as remeron. I have been on them for 6 months and have got on brilliantly.
I did try other meds before these but the side effects were always too much to cope with.
They did make me feel drowsy for the first couple of weeks but as you take them at night time it isnt really an issue.

I hope this helps!

Hi

I am on Mirtazipine too.

Help terrifically with sleeping. Have been on them since december - no real probs. Was on them mainly due to depression. Anxiety has got worse but am pretty sure it isnt to do with these.

I get on fine with being on them.

I have remron as a "In case of Emergency" Pill. I have never used it yet.
