How long before you get used to Mirtazapine ?

Yes it will get better day by day; takes about a week to level out for most probably.  Mirt', as you probably know, contains a sedative and it can last 24/7 for some which of course will help anxiety.  For some it just has that effect for about 10/12 hours, for me it was 24/7.

Best wishes.

Hi Angela it took about 7-10 days for my body to adjust to the sedation effect, although even after that I had days when I had to get to bed early, the tiredness would sweep over me. I am now 12 weeks on 15mg Mirt and feeling MUCH better. I wish you well 

Thanks to those who replied to me.    Today I don't feel quite so tired, but even after 2 doses of "Mirt" I feel calm and my mood has lifted.   This is far too early for an anti-depressant to have had that effect, but I am making the most of it.   As you all well know, depression is an awful thing to have.    People's comments don't help.  Years ago when I first experienced S.A.D. a colleague told me "Depressed?   I am too busy to be depressed".  What a stupid remark.   I wish all you fellow sufferers better times ahead.  Spring is round the corner !!

I feel so much better although tonight will only be 3rd taking of Mirt.   I note from the leaflet that comes with the pills that weight gain is a common side effect.    Good !   I am stick thin and underweight so no problem with that.   However since being on Mirt, I can't stop eating.    Can't get enough.    Maybe that is another side effect of this drug.  Anybody else had this side effect ?

Most people have the munchies on this drug. It did calm down for me after about a month.

After 3 weeks on 15 mg I still cannot stay awake all day. at best I am groggy, more often i am confused to the point I am unable to safely drive. several days I slept the entire day.

For me this prescription has not been a success.
