"i have recently started mirtazepine and read everything about it before i started taking it.  i was very sceptical as i have heard a lot of things, bad things about this medication, i have to say my experience is a good one, i started on 15mgs and my first night i slept like a log but i took it a few hours before i usually go to bed, just as well as it didn&#039;t work instantly on me, but when it did i slept really well, had some weird dreams but nothing that i couldn&#039;t handle, i had the shakes for a while after taking mirtazepine but what i didn&#039;t get is the vigorous appetite that a lot of people have experienced, it really seemed to help my depression and feel better than i have done for many years, actually want to get out of bed now."
