Comparing Mirtazapine vs Temazepam

For Depression Did anyone else get pain in the right side from this? Liver/hip area? I've been convinced I got some serious illness. As for the drug itself I wish I could keep taking it, my goodness how nice not to worry yourself to death all day long.

For Depression I have been on Mirtazapine 15mg for about 2 weeks now and I have to admit that I have felt very different in this time. The plus side to this drug is that it really does control your sleep which is great for me. As well as this, during my low points I would be completely put off of food: mirtazapine has increased my appetite massively which is a big bonus as I am dramatically underweight. This drug has made me feel drowsy in the mornings and cloudy thoughts at times but so far it seems to be working. I absolutely would not recommend drinking whilst taking this drug as I had a recent bad experience where I had lost control over my arms legs, vision etc. As far as my work productivity, this drug has been wonders and I am feeling more confident, more relaxed and levelled. I still have low moments but they are more controlled, rather that than uncontrollable depressive states. I would rate it higher but I have to see the full effects of mirtazapine.

For Insomnia Temazepam helps me fall asleep, but it doesn't help me stay asleep beyond three or four hours. So, I set my alarm for 3 AM every night and take a second Temazepam pill. So I take 15mg before bed and then another 15mg at 3 AM and I sleep till six or seven and that works.

For Insomnia If I take my temazepam about 15 minutes before I retire, and then actually go to bed, I get to sleep right away. If I delay, and stay up for more than 1/2 hour, it seems to have no effect.
