Why isn't mirtazapine 15mg working for me?

My dr put me on 7.5 for the first couple of days then I went up to 15 at night for sleep my tabs dissolve in my mouth and worked well for me my daughter was on them and it made her anxiety worse the dr also told me there used for people with anerexia as it increases appetite a lot of medications are not used for just one issue and not all medications suite everyone we are all different and have different experiences talk to your dr goodluck

This medication is most sedating at lower doses for complex pharmacology reasons. Try breaking the pill in half and see if that helps. If not, call your doc

Hi, I have found the same with this med. This is a low dose amount and sleep meds can be troublesome as you will build a tolerance to them, for me anyway. Check out the generic version of ZQuill. This in combination is helping a bit. But I am not a medical professional. Just giving you something to investigate to gain insight as to how to express the situation with your doc. Keep coming here this is a problem I have to solve too and will post my results with other meds prescribed by docs.

I take rhis med for depression. I don't think it is technically a sleep medicine, but can make some people drowsy. I certainly don't count on it to put me to sleep, but it has been very helpful at 30mg for depression and PTSD. If sleep is your problem, I'd suggest you ask your doc for a more appropriate med. Good luck.
