"overall, i would rate 7.5mg of mirtazapine two hours before bed as an awesome remedy for severe to extreme insomnia, with little to no side effects.

i had tried all kinds of sleep aids ranging from ambien to benzodiapines, with no effects. i am non to limited responder to ativan and other benzos.

mirtazapine works great for me, i get 7-9hrs of sleep, but only when i use the 7.5mg orally disintegrating tablets from aurobindo. do not, i repeat, do not use the regular tablets. they had very limited effect on me. 

mirtazapine will cause some drowsiness if i do not get the full 9 hours of rest, or have to get up early. this is easily mitigated by vitamin b12/c powder. 

mirtazapine sleep feels natural and refreshing."
