6.8
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 take Nytol on nights I really can't get to sleep. My experience is that they don't work very fast, but when they do I sleep pretty soundly. Unfortunately, the result in the morning is that I feel like I have a hangover, and I often sleep through my alarms. For Insomnia: Took 1 last night nytol tablet 1 hour before bed Mild sedative like effect but fell asleep okay Next morning I felt more tired at work than I did in bed haha :) Plus dry mouth and luckily avoided a head ache by drinking water ! |

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.
