I’ve recently been given these by my GP - UK to assist with sleep issues . 2 weeks ago they changed my contraception causing me not to sleep well as normal. I have also suffered too many big life events that has sent my adrenal system into free fall. I was given Zopiclone for 5 days which didn’t work and I returned to my old contraception. I now have mirtazapine 15mg. I have read here that a lower doses helps with not sleeping , I get about 3-4 hours a night, usual would be 10! I’m looking for something to help me with the anxiety of not sleeping - it feels like a battle ! Plus some sedative effects to help me on my way. Training wheels as it were . Can I get your recommendations? Also I understand that letting the meds dissolve on your tongue helps absorption. Any help greatly received . I’ve had to resign my job so I’d like my life back .

There is an antipsychotic, Seroquel brand name generic and active ingredient Quetiapine that off label in low doses helps with sleeping disorders and is quite effective in most people that take it, everyone reacts differently to medications, but as I have mentioned it does work with a dose of 25mgs to 50 mgs..
