Hi all would love some advice, i am thinking of going on 15mg mirtzapine just for sleep, could anyone tell me which other AD mixes with mirtz, gp took me off mirtz because i also take sertraline, but i want to go back on mirtz for sleep, ive got an appointment with gp soon and want to come off sertraline and go back on 15mg mirtz but would like to add another AD? Thanks in advance x

    I've been on sertraline and mirtazapine at the same time. No problems with that (200 mg sertraline, 15 mg mirt and also 450 mg Wellbutrin. 

    Your doc is probably extra cautious to make sure that you dont get Serotonin Syndrome. So any AD that is an SSRI will make him nervous.

    How about staying on Sertraline and adding zopiclone (Imovane) for sleep? That's what I am taking because I dont want Mirtazapine and the weight gain that goes with it....

      Hi Julie,

      If you're off it & doing well I'd be so reluctant to start it again, the weight loss alone gives you a big big boost & you feel better about yourself, I'd talk with doc & see what they suggest.

      Best wishes xx

      You're doing brilliant without them doll!! I hear you with the sleep thing, it's very annoying & then you get worked up meaning finding sleep nigh on impossible, could you try an over the counter remedy for sleeping til you see your GP on Friday? Keep us posted xx
