Hi Im asking on behalf of my mum who has been on mirtazapine 30mg then 45mg. On the 30mg she could sleep okay. However going up to 45mg has hindered sleep for her a lot. She says she often sees 1-2 am despite going bed around 10.30 pm. She sometimes gets lucky by taking quiet life herbal pills and then last night tried kalms one a night. But they didn't work. My question is this should she go back to the 30mg dosage or try a different anti depressant. Ife she was to come off the mirtazapine how would she wean off. Or is it okay to reduce back down to 30mg

    My Dr told me, people get a better sleep on lower dose. If she feels up to it, drop back to 30mgs. As for tapering, I was on 15 dropped to 7.5 couple of wobbly days, fine now.
