"my first week experience taking mirtazapine 15mg nightly. 

night 1 - slept for 14 hours straight. woke up groggy, mind foggy with dry mouth, lethargy and a voracious appetite. not a good start. 

nights 2-4 - slept really badly each night. by day 5 i felt like a zombie slurring words and forgetting even the basics like people&#039;s names. thought about calling the dr and getting off this medication. 

nights 5-7 - decided to take medication an hour before bed (instead of just before bedtime) big improvement. woke up day 6 feeling refreshed, clear of mind and full of energy. still had the appetite and dry mouth but i wanted to do things and the things i always enjoyed doing! great feeling. this seems to be working for me. i will continue taking it"
