Hi. I've been on 45mg mirtazapine daily for around 5 years and have just tapered off. I was taking it for anxiety and found it helpful. Especially because you take it before bed, it helped me to sleep and not lie awake overthinking. It helped to level out my mood and I found it better than other SSRIs I've tried. Didn't have any side effects. Hope it helps you too.
