    Waking up tired and out of it is a pretty normal side effect of Mirtazapine for a lot of people and I've had the same happen to me.

    I've never felt panicky and vulnerable on it but hopefully these will fade away as your body adjusts to it. Good luck and hope all goes well with you moving forward!

    I too was prescribed 15mg and felt the same way about being out of it. I started snapping the pills in half to make 7.5mg which worked better. Also I take them 3 hours before going to bed.

    Hi try and ask your doctor if there is any other medication you can take to take away your anxiety.....aripiprazole did the trick for me....I don't feel restless or anxious anymore....

      Maybe you just need to updose....I was on ten....didn't feel so good....so he put me on 15.... it took a while but once it kicked in I felt a lot better....

    I lasted three weeks before i just went cold turkey. i felt so ill with so many side effects that i decided i could no longer cope with the drug and quit. i was on them for depression and boy after about ten days without - i began to feel my old self again. not the man without depression - that was still there, but you don't actually realise how awful you feel whilst taking the drug until you stop.

       I hope you start to feel better soon.
