mirtazapine: Started taking mirtazapine a month ago for generalized anxiety disorder. This drug really helped me in a number of ways. My insomnia disappeared, my anxiety was greatly reduced allowing me to carry out day to day activities without living in constant fear of my anxiety raising its ugly head. The 1st 2 weeks I felt very tired and hungry but after that my mood was greatly lifted and I could enjoy life once again.

Remeron (mirtazapine): I have a panic disorder and my doctor put me on the Remeron. I thought it was great at first. It caused my panic attacks to slow down and my anxiety to die down. Then the side effects started. I had an increased appetite and put on nearly 30lbs. I didn't mind that, but then it also began causing me to become very irritable. I started feeling like I was going into blind rages. I immediately contacted my doctor and switched medicines. Use caution.

Remeron (mirtazapine): I am taking this medication in combination with thorazine, I take the Remeron at night due to the sleepiness, the thorazine in the day and also in combination at night. I was not aware of the weight gain effects of the Remeron, but now I realize that both are causing weight gain. As far as the help with sleeplessness, this has been the only one that has helped.

Remeron (mirtazapine): Taking Remeron at night and Effexor in the morning helped me a lot. Before I started it, it took me 2-4 hours to fall asleep every night, which left me with six hours of sleep at most. Now I'm able to fall asleep easily and sleep through the night. I never had any trouble with the side effects so it worked out well for me.

mirtazapine: Helps greatly with my anxiety attacks and puts me in a coma like sleep. Been taking it for a month the only problem I have is I remain sleepy almost to a zombie like state all day. I still get very dizzy to the point of being nauseated while lying down. I really like this medicine but don't think it is right for me because of my conditions and looks like it has interactions with 3 of my other medication.

Remeron (mirtazapine): I have been taking for 16 months. I was having low-mid level anxiety, loss of appetite and insomnia. Remeron cured the insomnia and appetite immediately. Anxiety was much less within a couple of weeks and gone within a month or so. Constipation occurred for about a week and then went away. I have gained weight over the last year but am changing my diet to be more healthy (no white sugar or white flour, etc.) so that I am losing some weight now.

Remeron (mirtazapine): I had been taking Remeron for about 4 years for severe anxiety
and insomnia. It works great and gets you back on a normal sleep
patern right away. Yes, the side effects do get less and less after a few week. I have stopped using it now.
