Hi, I have been on Mirtazapine since January 2018 and started at just 15mg. Like you they made me sleep which was good but the effect wore off after about 8 months or so and I found my mood slipping. I discussed this with my GP and she agreed to increase to 30mg but rather than 1 x 30mg tablet I take 2 x 15mg (apparently the higher the dose the less sedative they become). I have found the sedative effect to be useful doing it this way round.

Do discuss your feelings with your GP, they might suggest an increase or they might suggest an alternative medication to help you sleep.

Take Care

I got the doctor Tuesday to see about something else to sleep. I think these pills are giving me buzzing in the head

I am glad you have a doctor's appointment and I hope they manage to resolve it for you x
