Quitting Mirtazapine (Insomnia Help) Read if you're struggling.
Posted , 28 users are following.
I have been on mirtazapine for just over a year on all doses 15 to 45mg constantly upping then lowering the dose.
I have tried to quit multiple times due to the weight gain and haven't been able to cope with the insomnia. I can go days without sleep but get severely paranoid and delusional so it's out of the question.
I have tried many sleep aids and natural treatments. I have found one that works.
Phenergan (Promethazine)
Now I know it may not work for everyone, but for it to me sleep after using something strong like mirtazapine for over a year, it's good.
I took mirtazapine for depression but depression never really lifted, I had a good nights sleep and that was all.
I take 75mg of Phenergan about an hour before bedtime and it allows me to sleep through the night. I highly recommend it for any of you struggling with the insomnia side effect of mirtazapine withdrawal
