Hi, I was on citalopram 20mg for over 2 years but found they weren't working anymore and I was also having trouble sleeping,I got myself a Fitbit and was amazed at how many times I woke up every night and how many times I was restless!!! Went back to the docs and she put me on Mirtazapine 30mg saying they would help me sleep, the 1st one I took knocked me out and I slept much better but then my sleep pattern has gone back to being rubbish, I am on them for anxiety and mild depression, obviously I shall give them more time to work properly but as I was told they have a sedative in them I assumed they would help me sleep better pretty much right away, my doctor checked numerous times that there were other people in the house to wake me in case they knocked me out!!! Am wondering if after a few weeks they will help me

Sleep or if I should be on the 45mg dose.
