"i suffered from insomnia, anxiety and depression. over course of 2 years i have tried citralopram &amp; sertraline. none of these have been as effective as mirtazapine, to the point where friends, family &amp; colleagues noticed huge positive changes in my personality. i started on 15mg which instantly cured my insomnia (wow!) &amp; a lift in mood (after a week). after 2 weeks i requested my gp put me on a standard dosage of 30mg. i have been on this for 2 months (best effects after week 4) &amp; i feel great! i am happy, outgoing, eating and sleeping properly again &amp;finally feel the old fun, strong me is coming back. there are odd bad days but now it is easier to snap out of it &amp; get back on track. thank you mirtazapine for giving me back my joie de vivre!"
