"after breaking up with my long-term girlfriend i started having the worst bout of insomnia in my life. i had always been a bad sleeper, but over about 3 months i was averaging about 2-3 hrs of disturbed sleep a night. to cut a long story short, doctors gave me many different sleeping pills and then antidepressants. though the antidepressants helped my mood i still wasn&#039;t sleeping, so eventually i was given mirtazapine. after about 3 nights i started sleeping like i used to when i was a kid (i&#039;m 37 now). felt completely natural without the slightest feeling of sedation. i&#039;m pretty happy as well, though that could just be because, at last, i&#039;m sleeping well. it&#039;s been 3 weeks now without a single bad night, miracle!"
