Tracey Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Mirtazapin/Zispin i've been on these for over 12 months now! but i have them daily as they are an antidepressant as well as a sedative they worked for me for the first 10 months but due to change in circumstances havent been doing much good lately! i had them increased to the max dose a fortnight ago! and though my depression is no better, i am sleeping! they knock me out!!! though they help you sleep pattern straight away, it may take a few weeeks for you to feel the full effect of them! really hope they help you hun take care Traceyxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girl_Interrupted Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hey I've been on avanza (mirtazapin) for about 12 months. At lower doses they helped me sleep but with the high doses I have noticed I get the opposite effect, no sleep. I take 60mg for my depression and it helps me function but it's not that great but after a change 3 months ago I realised it works well enough. Hope they are helping Hugs Em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lissy1984 Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 I'll let you guys into a little secret when it comes to mirtazapine...my therapist told me this just three months ago. The LOWER the dose, the more tired you will feel...mainly because the medication actually has some adrenalin in it. I laughed when my doctor told me this, but it's very true! I've been on mirtazapine for 12 months now and it still knocks me out! Don't fight it, take the meds and relax xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonkate Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 yeah, antidepressant, i was on those for a bit, they helped me sleep for a bit, but i soon got used to them and they didnt help with the sleep anymorewas put on a higher that maximum dose and they didnt do anything for me, but different drugs work for different ppl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute but phyco Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I take it. I dealt with insomnia for over a year. Ambien doesnt work for me at all. trazadone does sometimes but, the remeron (mitzaprine) works great. I like it because they disolve in your mouth so I leave them in my bedside table.

~ Mandy ~ Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I was on that for 2 1/2 years, only recently come off it.It was the first thing I took that helped my depression, and it really helped with the sleep, it's been weird adjusting to not taking it!

TheChangeling Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Iwas on it for 3 years, but it never helped with sleep at all,and it stopped working altogether a bout 6 months ago, ive stopped taking it now, as i dont think wild mood swings really means depression, well not for me, ive been depressed and this is differant, having said that these things work differently for different ppl. i hope it works ok for youtxxxt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lost Soul Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I ahve been on these 15 and now 30mg since around the beginning on November 2005. Have they helped me. Though they helped me sleep for a first time and helped with me headaches and jumble in my head, they might have helped, but I was still down because of other issues I could not resolve. I was down and defeated and spiralling downwards.BPD has changed that for me. But the meds did help and MIGHT have kicked in at the right time, maybe.
