Hi, I was taken off my SSRI Escitalopram as was bruising a lot. Started on Mirtazapine 4 days ago and all I want to do is sleep. It’s stopped the anxiety but I sleep all the time and get nothing done. On 15mgs and told to increase to 30mgs after a week. Thanks in advance x

Thank you
The lowest the dose the more sedating. True.
ive been on strongest dose for years.at times I still struggle to sleep about 30 minutes before bed is what I do.do you have an alarm maybe set it so your up at the same time just to get into a routine.
I am worried about the weight gain, I’ve gone up 1/2 stone in a week! X
I gained weight also but for me at the time it was a good thing.try just eat a bit of toast just before you take it then go to bed before the hunger comes on.
