Mirtazepine

Hi everyone, does anyone have experience of taking mirtazepine and was it helpful? I have just started it this week. Sleeping better but lots of dreams.

I have been on Mirtazapine for anxiety & depression for a year, I am on a high dose of 45mg which was gradually increased over a few months 15,30,45. I have found it helpful and am much better, was intending to start reducing but with all the anxiety around Covid 19 I have stayed on same dose, doctor is ok with this as says not addictive. I have found getting the timing right is key as I get restless legs and whole body jumps usually about an hour after taking so have now adjusted time so not to affect badly on going to bed, this will depend on the time you go to bed. Overall I have found it helpful even with the jumps.

Hi, I have just started on this medicine I have been on it for about two weeks. The dreams are unbelievable. They go back and fourth between nightmares and all of my fears rolled into some crazy vivid dream. I was wondering if it was the med.glad I am not alone. Does this go away? I do notice I am not lying there for a while tossing and turning which is nice
