Hi all,
I'm curious to hear from anyone who is taking both citalopram & mirtazapine and to ask how well they are sleeping?
I took citalopram about 5 years ago for a few years and while it really helped with anxiety/depression I'm pretty much convinced that it gave me my sleeping problem (of course I could be wrong). I eventually came off it as I felt much better anxiety wise.
Now I’m taking mirtazapine for my sleep problem and for anx & dep again. I’ve been on them for a few months and while I don't feel it's been working for anxiety it has helped my sleep immensely.
(I can’t win! :-) )
I have read that a side effect of citalopram is insomnia, so I really don't want this happening... again. But I'm hoping that with mirtazapine combined that I *shouldn't* have too much of a problem.
I assume that it's best to take the citalopram in the morning, and continue to take mirtazapine in the evening/night?
I’d be interested to hear other people's experiences taking both of these.
Thanks all
