Insomnia
"Prescribed Mirt for chronic insomnia, difficulty with both falling and staying asleep.  15 mg was stimulating and caused jittery, anxious feeling.  7.5 mg. Helped moderately with staying asleep but did nothing for sleep onset - still tossing and turning for several hours.  No weight gain or carb cravings, but routine blood work showed that triglycerides increased substantially and blood sugar (which has always been normal) rose to pre- diabetes level while on the Mirt.  Did a quick two week taper and stopped the drug.  Bottom Line:  not effective for insomnia and caused alarming rise in blood sugar.  Glad I caught this early and got off this drug."
