Hi, for around 7 years I've relied on taking 5mg diazapam on an as and when basis for things like anxiety, panic attacks etc. It's more situational anxiety for me than general or every day. Anyway, last week doc prescribed 15mg mirtazapine and said that would help in terms of always keeping me calm. I've actually started on 7.5mg just to see how I feel. No side effects so far. Sleeping well, don't feel groggy during day and so far no increase in appetite. I'm going to up dose to 15mg tomorrow night. Just wondered if anyone else has similar type anxiety as mine and if this med has helped? Heard lots about weight gain, I haven't felt hungrier yet on 7.5 but maybe I will on 15mg. Is it the med that gains the weight or increased appetite and therefore eating more?
