Citalopram and mirtazapine combination

I had been prescribed with citalopram 20 mg (but taking 10 mg only) for anxiety and rivotril 1mg for insomnia for two weeks. And I was not taking it religiously. And depended on prayers ( proud Christian here). Last four months, I was doing fine and stress was manageable and I only take the rivotril 1 mg as needed for insonmia. I had sleep at least 5-6h a day without taking any meds for the past 4 mos until one night where I have not slept even just for an hour due to snoring of a friend. During the day, I was okay but one moment changed all. I panicked and although I knew it will not harm me it affected my entire mood. And guess what? My sleep anxiety recurs. I tried all sorts of diet for anxiety but I'm not just lucky. So I went to my doctor but he is on vacation. So I went to another doctor and prescribed me with citalopram and mirtazapine for insomnia. Last night I took 15 mg of mirt and had slept but broken. In the morning, I felt like a zombie. Had to try hard to focus and to stay alert . had anyone had the same experiences with these combination? Will this ever go away? Will I be normal again? Please share your experiences with all honesty.
