depression
"Male, 28, 150 lbs. I've taken mirtazapine for about a year, 30 and now 45 mg/day. I also take 150mg of Effexor. The combination has worked wonders for me. Mirtazapine is so unique among the antidepressants. More sedating than the others, but a tolerance develops over time so that this groggy side-effect becomes more tolerable. My favorite thing about mirtazapine is the elaborate dreams I have, especially when taken with effexor. It regulates a lot of my life, including appetite, sleep, and sexual function (all positively). One odd thing is, these medications seem to blur the line between the dream world and reality. They also have the power to change a person, and are somewhat addictive when used long-term. Be careful."
