    It worked at first, tho I did find myself waking up after midday. I was the advised to take it a bit earlier in the evening so the effects would wear off earlier in the morning if that makes sense, and that did improve things.

    I had no unpleasaht side effects on switching, but have experienced weight gain. I have managed to get that under control and even lose some by exercising and healthy eating, tho I have recently had a relapse so am unable to do that now.

    Good luck whatever the decision!


    insecureme: are you still on Mirt? what dose? How's it working now? i am switching from Celexa...

    do you get headaches? do they go away?

    Hi Mark, as insecureme's post is quite old I don't know if they will see this post or not so I thought I'd just say 'hi'.

    I switched from Citalopram to Mirtazapine last year without much in the way of side effects apart from the sedation which passed after a week or so. I ended up adding Venlafaxine so I'm now on a combination of both Mirt/Ven.

    What dose are you switching from/to? Have you started yet?

    Hope it goes well.
