Insomnia
"Due to the stress and anxiety over my parents&#039; ill health and my need to provide caregiving to them, I wasn&#039;t sleeping. Had restless leg syndrome as well as just plain not being able to get to sleep. My doctor prescribed Zoloft for the anxiety, and lorazepam for my insomnia, which worked perfectly but I discovered that I can&#039;t take benzodiazapines because of random drug tests at work, so he switched me to mirtazapine, 30mg at night. It worked OK for 2 months but now I&#039;m back to where I was before. With the lorazepam I didn&#039;t dream, I slept deeply and awoke refreshed and no hangover. With the mirtazapine, it&#039;s hard now to fall asleep, and I have strange dreams. Appetite has also increased horribly which defeats my weight loss goal."
