Hi, I'm new here. My name is Rasmus and I live in Denmark. I have an anxiety disorder, an alcohol problem (not a huge issue for me anymore) and a problem with insomnia which has just been getting worse and worse over the years. I was on Quetiapine for about two years, but it never really worked properly for me. Sure I got a good nights sleep, but it made me really sleepy and hungry the day after. I already wanted to quit after the first 6 months, but quitting entirely proved extremely difficult. I did manage to quit taking it entirely by the middle of December last year, but I've had problems sleeping and been more or less depressed ever since. So last week my doctor decided to let me try Mirtazapine (15 mg) as an alternative, and I've been taking that for 7 days now. It's still not working for me though, and I seem to have the reverse effect from this drug as most other people are having. It makes me feel a little bit drugged and sleepy at first but it also elevates my heart rate and actually makes it harder for me to sleep, so I feel tired and moody the day after. Is there anyone else here who've had this problem with Mirtazapine? Does it get better eventually? How long should I wait?
