Mine kicked in 7 days after my
last dose. You can buy sleepy tea which works. You can double bag it as well!

To be truthful I dont have insomnia at the moment because I take quetiapine for sleep at night. I plan to get off it as soon as the mirtazapine withdrawals stop. I did used to struggle to sleep without it though, and my sister got me onto the tea once when i slept at hers but forgot my meds. She used it every night. I stopped mirtazapine 8 weeks ago after 1 year on 30mg. Hope it gets better for you soon
