I have been suffering from Non Restful sleep for over 3 Months now. My Doctor gave me Mirtazapine 30 MG and Klonopin 0.25 MG. It was ok at the beginning but I had to increase the dosage of Klonopin to 1.75 MG. Now Mirtazapine 30 MG and Klonopin 1.75 MG stopped working.

It feels like I have slept but when I wake it is like I havent slept a minute. Any ideas or Help would be appreciated.

Should I just change the doctor. I have no Anxiety or Depression, Just sleep issue. I dont know if the above meds are first line treatment for NRS Insomnia.

    I think you are taking too much of both medication. You probably feel a bit hungover in the morning. If I take too much klonopin, I don't feel well the next day. If I recall, Mirtazapin didn't agree with me,that also is a big dose, maybe try cutting that one in half. It can take a few days before your body gets used to these pills, so don't give up yet.

      Initially I felt the same. But when I increase the dose I feel extremely refreshed the next morning. But it does not have the same effect after couple of days. Even the doctor feels the dosage if quite high and do not understand why it's not working.
