Mirtazapine sedation/groggy feeling - Does it wear off?
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi all, So I've been on Mirt now for about 6 weeks and recently went up to 30mg 4 nights ago but the sedation is horrible and I'm left feeling very tired and fatigued through the day, I feel like i can't do anything and lifes just passing me by. I want to wake up feeling on top of the world and raring to go!
I do feel like Mirt has helped with my depression but the horrible hangover groggy feeling the next day is unbearable and it makes me feel depressed about it, I just want to sleep all the time, it lasts all day until I take my next dose.
Does anyone else feel the same on this med? Does this feeling eventually wear off? Because if it doesn't then I'll have to change meds AGAIN as i just can't live like this for much longer!
Thanks,
Liam

I was exactly the same when i started taking mirt. I was struggling to wake up, sleeping all day and feeling groggy. I have been taking the tablets since September 2013 and in all fairness apart from that initial stage i now feel fine! What i feel really makes the difference is going to bed about 30mins/1hour you normally do. I am on 30mg and yes it does hit you hard first but compared to citalapram (is that how you spell it? haha) it has helped me loads.
Another way i found is to exercise a bit more. Not neccessarily go to the gym/ run but just simple things like walking up to the shop and getting a paper.
Hope this helps, i wouldnt give up on it after such little time.
