Mirtazapine Diary For Anyone Who'd Like To Join In

I started 3 weeks ago on 15mg and slept great also but still had bad days with anxiety on and off. Three day ago I went upto 30mg as agreed with DR and am sleeping even better which was a surprise as I was expecting to not sleep so well on 30mg. I still get bad days and think this is the way it will be so don't expect too much and your only 5 days in so the drug wont start to kick in yet it's far to early. Be patient and expect bad days and good they are going to happen no matter what drug your on. Keep a diary so you can look back then you can see when things start to get better.

Hi, just being weaned off Sertraline and starting on Mirtazapine for the first time. Had terrible non stop side effects with 50mg of Sertraline so had to give in and agree to try something else. Being treated for long term, 'drug resistant' depression linked to Aspergers syndrome. Feeling frustrated by the problems with Sertraline but hopeful/terrified by the possibility of Mirtazapine working.

Mirtazapine s basically just a really strong antihistamine at lower doses. If you're taking it for anxiety, just be aware that in the higher dose range the sedative effect is reduced and norepinephrine neurotransmission is increased, which can increase anxiety. I have to stay below 15mg for that reason.
