"i have been on mirtazapine for nearly a year now. i was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and had had reactions to other anti-depressants i had tried. after i had gone with very little sleep for a few days, my doctor prescribed me with mirtazapine. the first night i took it, i had 14hrs sleep which was such a blessing. before this i was so bad at one point it felt like i was having constant panic attacks and felt i was going mad but mirtazapine really helped me, when i literally thought i would never get better.
i still have the odd bad nights sleep and panic attack now but nowhere near as bad. i have also put on 2 stone since i started with it but looking back on how i was, this is a small price to pay."
