mirtazapine

ronaldol

I've just started taking the tablet at night. Does help sleep but I have no energy in the morning at all & feel crap. Probably after 10am before I get my energy back. Question is will I need to put up with this for long? I'm worried as I have work all next week so will need to be up early

I took Mirtazapine a good few years back. I had a similar problem although I was on another med that causes sleepiness as well, so take it with a grain of salt. I found that once my sleeping pattern became a bit more regular, it did improve. I put down the sleepiness in the morning due to the vivid dreams Mirtazapine gave me. I don't know if it's a common side effect but another person I know also had the same symptoms of vivid/lucid dreams. I think it caused me to be more active during sleep so I wasn't getting the full benefit of a peaceful night's rest. If you take it before bed, it might be worth trying to take it a few hours before. I found that taking the meds that made me sleepy a few hours before bedtime reduced the amount of time it took me to recover in the morning.

I was on this at one point for about a year. It does help and is a good medication(I’ve tried them all)

The tiredness and that will ease after ur body adjusts to the med
