    Sertraline and Mirtazapine

    Hi All

    This is like a roundabout....

    I was on Citalopram / Mirt combo for about 12months - did really well so came off of cit and stayed on just Mirt (7.5mg) for 6months.

    The Mirt on its own wasnt overly effective (I only stayed on a low dose as I didnt want to keep tirading up doses) - so about 6 weeks ago I went through the agongy of weaning off.

    I weaned off and went onto Sertraline - 50mg - 2 weeks ago.

    Since then I have not slept a wink - that, plus the rebound insomnia from coming off the mirt means I have been insomniactic for about 8 weeks> i have had zopiclone but can feel myself becoming addicted to that big time. Started to crave it and need more to make it work.

    Doc thinks I should stay on 50mg of Sert in the day and take a low dose of Mirt *(7.5mg or 15mg) in the evening to sleep again and take the edge off.

    Is this a good idea? Anyone else on this combo or any other comments? I cant keep on not sleeping and using zopiclone but it does rather feel like I am going around in circles!

    I use 5mg of lexapro and 7.5 mg of mirt.

    It has been working well for me so I say give it a shot!
