4.1
For Insomnia: I thought I went I had dropped into a live-in nightmare 2 times in one night. It scared me so bad when I finally woke up I swore I would never take this drug again. It was the most horrific dreams I've ever had. I took 1. 5 mil pill. I'm still shook up after taking this drug. I hope this helps some one. It is not for me. I have never been scared of meds un till now |
6.8
For Depression: I have been on mitrzapine for nearly 3 years. I started on a low dose and now take 45 mgs at night. The first time I took this medication I was drowsy but so so hungry, I was literally half asleep eating a bag of Crisps. This medication definitely helps me sleep as my anxiety would run wild at night causing sleepless nights, it's definitely great for the sleeping side of things and now that I'm used to it I don't feel it hanging on me the next day. I've rated 7 as this medication has made me gain weight like mad, I find I wake up during the night to eat, they certainly do give you the munchies but I can deal with that side effect if it means having a decent sleep. I've found if I go without this medication my mood severely drops so it's important to never miss a dose. For Depression: 2 month now on mirtazapine and from the state I was in, it has turned around a whole lot. I do have highs that can last a few days or weeks then drop to low sometimes. It's makes me want to eat lots which is good if you need to gain weight. If you take it at the right time you can get sleep and wake up easily. Slight groggy-nesss but nothing heavy like other medications I have tried. Experience a lot of vivid/strong dreams which can wake me up sometimes (not so much a problem for me) I work full time and overall I am able to work my shift and get about my day without millions of thoughts running though my head. |

For Insomnia: I've been taking Dayvigo for a month now. I have weird dreams, headaches, and anxiety. I take it with my trazadone 300mg. I seem to sleep much better but its hard to wake up sometimes. Groggy. I do wake up to pee and go back to sleep pretty well. I do take medicine for anxiety but lately after taking dayvigo I feel more anxious. Not sure if I will keep taking it.
