Anxiety
"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."
