Hi Lisa 222 and welcome :welcome:There are some great threads on here re-medications...maybe a good place to start for you x

:welcome:Welcome Lisa. I am currently prrescribed mirtazapine 45mg. It can be extremely sedating in the lower doses and when you first start taking it. This should settle down after a few weeks. If you look in the 'medication' section under 'mirtazapine' you will find lots of posts about it and of course support. EJ.

Hello Lisa,

I too take mirtazipine. Absolutely normal what you are experiencing and will pass...so there is light at the end of the tunnel. For me having taken other AD's including citalopram like yourself..mirtazipine is the one that worked well for me...it got me out of a black hole and back to work living a normal life again!!

Check out the threads on it and they will help you and feel free to ask any questions and we will help where we can.

Good luck with it all and welcome to NMP!!
