I've been on Mirtazapine for about 5 years now. Took a bit of getting used to as it used to leave me feeling dopey all morning so I daren't drive (that was when I was on 30mg tablets)
I'm now on 15 mg tablets and am fine, the drug seems to do what I want it to, which is to stop feeling nervous and on edge.

Thanks Craft :) Sorry for the late reply, internet issues! Great it works for you. Fingers crossed it'll help me too.
Am a little nervous about the switch but my GP thought it was better than increasing current meds (apparently issues with the heart with that and pregabalin I'm also on) and help me sleep better, which would be great!
Did you get any kind of more vivid dreams on it? I get them on the pregabalin and hoping something like this might knock me out more so I'm not going from awake to very vivid (and often involved - even doing work!?!? argh haha!) dream to awake so much.

My husband was prescibed around 60mg (if memory serves me right). He's been on so many tablets, it's hard to remember.
He had to come off them though because they made him very jumpy at the slightest thing. It's all trial and error though and prob depends what dosage you're on.
He's just been put on Pregabalin now (apparently, they're very expensive!) and he also takes Venlafaxine.
Good luck, anything's worth a try when you're in pain.

Thanks all :) I'm on 15mg before bed and I've had two pretty good night's sleep which I'm very grateful for, got me so sleep so much easier and nice and relaxed and felt like a deeper sleep which was great!
I've been a bit doped through the day though not too bad. Trying to take things a bit easier generally and learn to relax more and rest my body doing things generally rather than trying to push things. I'm feeling a bit more rational rather than strssing myself out so much. Only two days though so even if more psychological it's welcome.
I do want to eat a lot though that could be steroids as well. There are worse things if it means feeling more relaxed.
Fingers crossed it's going to be a big help :)
