I Have been on several anti depressants over the last few years and Psychiatrist has just changed me from sertraline 200mg to 30mg Mirtazapine, bit worried after reading some of the comments, is it OK to take this at night as my Gp has said to take it on a morning

I think your Gp may have given you the wrong advice. Call a pharmacist today and ask their advice. I have been on mirt for three weeks now and they have helped. They are def supposed to be taken at night due to the sedative effect. I take 15 mgs at the mo but seeing my Gp next week who will prob increase it to 30 as I think that's the maintenance dose. Last few days I have not felt to tired so I think I have them in my system now. There are bad reports but equally there are good ones. Keep that in mind.

Highest dose. See another doctor or ring just have a telephone conversation because mirtazapine makes you sleep and it's strong so please take it at night.
The often used alternative to mistake pine is venaflaxine and that's makes you wired and awake good for exercising
Both these tablets are the family of SRI
( serotonin and noradrenaline re uptake inhibiters )
Second line treatment for depression.
You are not alone I accept a higher power and I give myself to him / her to help me.

Alternative to mirtazapin
SRNI not SRI
Apologies
