I call it remeron. How did it affect your sleep? Was it heavy? Did it ease depression?

I have been on it for 5 years, not for depression just for sleeping and gaining weight.
I used to sleep 12 hours on it (2 more than normally) and it made me hungry.

I hated that medication. Didn’t make me sleep. Just made me hungry.

Ask for another antidepressant if you think it makes you sleep too much.

I take it too. Helps me sleep and I found it is good for depression as well. When I first started my eyes were really blurry. Took awhile to get adjusted to it. 3 years on it for me.

At one point I was prescribed mirtazapine for sleep, I was on it for about 2 months.
It didnt work the first 6 weeks and the 7th week it started to make me drowsy.
But by then I had already requested we find something new. I’m using Trazodone now as my main sleeping med.

I sleep well on 15 mg mirtazapine and have not gained weight, and there is no sexual dysfunction like on other AD’s. But it’s not very effective for my depression
