Depression
"After years of chronic depression and a significant suicide attempt, I was institutionalised. During this time the supervising psych prescribed mirtazapine.
This drug saved my life.
I am on a high dose, 60mg before bed, but I have noticed no side effects other than more restful night&#039;s sleep (I was an insomniac). My mood is entirely stable now with any depressive episode being minor and totally manageable. There has been no noticeable stupifying effect and I am not in any way sedated. In fact my career has taken off since I commenced taking this drug.
I understand that it is not for everyone, but I am one of its success stories."
