"after years of chronic depression and a significant suicide attempt, i was institutionalised. during this time the supervising psych prescribed mirtazapine.
this drug saved my life.
i am on a high dose, 60mg before bed, but i have noticed no side effects other than more restful night&#039;s sleep (i was an insomniac). my mood is entirely stable now with any depressive episode being minor and totally manageable. there has been no noticeable stupifying effect and i am not in any way sedated. in fact my career has taken off since i commenced taking this drug.
i understand that it is not for everyone, but i am one of its success stories."
