Positive experiences
“Mirtazapine worked great for me, I'd credit it with saving my life.”
“The only one that really helped me was mirtazapine but I piled on the weight.”
“Mirtazapine has definitely helped, I've been on it for around 8 months.”
“I'm semi-dependant on low dose mirtazapine for sleep, for the antihistaminic effect.”
“increased the dose to 225 and then 300, then added mirtazapine 15 and eventually 30mg, full 'California rocket fuel.' This at least helps me sleep.”
“They found a good combination in the psych ward for me so I'm feeling a lot better now.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“The only drugs that has helped at all so far have been Buspar and Remeron, both of which eventually stopped working for me.”
“A med like Remeron (I had HORRIBLE side effects) uses several of my mutated/broken metabolizers.”
“I tried Mirtazapine, it only worked for 2-3 days, it knocked me out on the 1st day, I was very tired the next day, on the 2nd day it worked less then on the 3rd day it didn't work.”
“mirtazapine (Remeron) and it genuinely helped me. Sadly, my body was building a tolerance for it within that six month period.”
“I take Mirtazapine and Gabapentin for sleep which have lost their efficacy for the most part.”
“I have given very few of them fair trials, as I can't deal with the side effects for that long.”
