Mirtazapine
"I've been on 15mg of Mirtazapine for about 8 years.  I was put on this medicine for insomnia.  It works perfectly 99% of the time as long as I take it about 1.5 before after eating.  If I eat anything later, it doesn't work.  It has not increased my appetite, however when I was first put on it, I was on 45mg, which did make me hungry.



I have a 3.5 year old who goes to preschool at 8, but gets up around 5.  I go to bed at 7.  I stop eating at 4, take my meds at 5:30, and by 7 I fall asleep pretty quickly.  If I eat after 4, the medicine will not put me to sleep.  I have to take Ambien."
