I thought I'd start a new topic to hopefully get more notice. I've been taking mirtazapine for 13 day. I started taking to help with insomnia due to lexapro start up. It worked great. I started at 15mg then moved up to 30mg after a few days. about a week into it I started getting panic attacks. I read up on mirtazapine and sure enough it raises norepinephrine. I spoke to doc and we agreed to lower back to 15mg. It was still putting me to sleep. At this point I started to feel naturally tired, like I could fall asleep without it. Last night I took it. I felt a little anxious before falling asleep. Within an hour I was awake. I felt wired and groggy at the same time. I had a horrible night of sleep. I felt tense the whole night. I want to come off this stuff. I am on lexapro too. I think it's finally working into my system.
Has anyone taken this med for a short period of time and come off it? What was your experience?
