I have taken MIRTAZAPINE 15mg for 12 weeks now and some days I feel so lethargic It is an effort to speak! Also very depressed too , obviously this isn’t right ?!?! Also I have been tapering off benzodiazepine at the same time and am now down to dregs of the drug ….. a roller coaster ride, this might cause the above too? I don’t know whether to get off MIRTAZAPINE although I sleep like a baby !

Hi, Thanks for your post.👍 I don't know about tapering off benzos but I can tell you about Mirtazapine. One of the known side effects of M is sedation and for this reason often best taken a night for sleep issues.
Personally, I'm happy to recommend M because 6-8 hours sleep is better than insomnia.
If its not for you, let your prescriber know.
