User Reviews for Mirtazapine

Remeron (mirtazapine): Initially, I was thrilled with Remeron for treating my sleeplessness and restless nights. Then, I realized that I had gained considerable weight - like 15 pounds in one month due to insatiable eating. It wasn't worth it to me so I quit taking it. Still working on the pre-Remeron figure 2 months later.

Remeron SolTab (mirtazapine): I've had insomnia all my life but once I was put on Remeron I'm finally able to sleep.

Remeron (mirtazapine): Really good for sleep. I don't like it as an antidepressant, however. It makes me too hungry, and when I took it for an entire month I did not like the effects it had on me. I only use it for sleep occasionally, however, I do begin to build up a tolerance if I take it too many nights in a row.

Remeron (mirtazapine): Remeron is great for insomnia, start with very small doses and work up. I use the dissolving tablets, easier to break up. Immediately stopped my anxiety. Drawbacks are increased appetite and after prolonged periods of consumption it can affect your blood pressure regulation, mostly noticeable when you stand up fast. Excellent for stopping the racing thoughts. It can be difficult waking up in the beginning but this gets better with time. It also suppressed my sex drive. All in all excellent for those who have tried everything, gotten hooked, suffered withdrawals from the "pines" and need something for sleep.

Remeron (mirtazapine): I'm using this medication in conjunction with Effexor XR, clonazepam, and Vyvanse to help sleep and to help with my as-of-yet depression that hasn't responded to medicines. It knocks me OUT, but I can force myself to do things (not complicated) before I actually need to sleep. Haven't been on it long enough to assess it as far as depression. I guess we'll see.

Remeron (mirtazapine): So I am on my first day-after. I took 15mg of Remeron at 7:30 and still did not fall asleep until 1 am. However, I did sleep until 11:30 today, but woke up feeling groggy. I didn't eat any more than usual last night and I'm kinda hesitant now that I've read about the weight gain side-effect. I also take Seroquel XR and put on about 25 pounds in about 2 months. I can't take another weight gain. That is one of the sources of my current depression.

Remeron (mirtazapine): I take 45mg of mirtazapine! It helps me fall asleep but I still wake every 1 1/2hours or so, it has helped with my depression but like other users my appetite has gone through the roof.

Remeron (mirtazapine): I've been taking 30mg of mirtazipine for over two years with excellent success and regular 8-hour sleep periods that leave me feeling refreshed and well rested.

Remeron (mirtazapine): One month on 7.5 mg. - great for sleep and anti anxiety. Definitely increased my appetite which is great for now. Not too much weight gain.

Remeron (mirtazapine): Remeron helps me to go to sleep when I get ready. I still wake up at night but fall right back to sleep. I haven't noticed any abnormal weight gain or urges to eat more at night.

Remeron (mirtazapine): Remeron worked great for my insomnia and also eliminated anxiety better than any other medicine I have tried. HOWEVER, it made me hungry constantly. The resulting weight gain resulted in diabetes and high blood pressure and exacerbated my sleep apnea. I had to stop taking it because of these adverse effects. Unfortunately, I've not found an acceptable alternative.

Remeron (mirtazapine): I suffered from insomnia for over 10 years. I tried everything under the sun from behavioral modification to herbal supplements to prescription drugs. I started 7.5 mg of Remeron and 7.5 mg of Restoril 5 months ago and I have never slept better. I am so thankful to have found these medications. The first few days I was a bit dizzy and disoriented. And, yes, I have the 10 lb weight gain but that is slowly coming off with proper diet and exercise. This medication literally saved my life.

Remeron (mirtazapine): Helped with my insomnia but slept too long. Went to sleep at 11pm and slept till 5pm the next day. I did not take a dose the next night and still woke up groggy.

Remeron (mirtazapine): As a sleep aid it is good, HOWEVER the abnormal and lucid dreams have caused some days to be clouded due to the "feel" from the nights before. I have also experienced crazy "sleep talking" to the point where my boyfriend can actually have full on conversations with me while I'm sleeping and dreaming. Weight gain has been substantial due to what I call a ravenous hunger.

Remeron (mirtazapine): Woke up with very blurry vision for 3 hours....was scary! It made me sleep well, but the appetite increase was horrific. I literally thought about food the whole day. Did not take again. I have a spinal condition and could have easily put on 20lbs in a month on this, that is if I could find the fridge with my blurry vision. This is a common side effect with this medicine.

Remeron (mirtazapine): I have been taking Remeron for about two months now and it doesn't help me go to sleep but it does help me stay asleep. I have to literally force myself to get up in the morning. It does make me eat more though and that is the only side effect that I have noticed so far but overall its been working great.

Remeron (mirtazapine): I love the Remeron.
