Dear Famish,
Mirtazapine is sedating. But in your case, it is NOT prescribed for sedation. Its antidepressant effect will be useful - not only in insomnia but also in other symptoms. The prescription starts with 7.5 mg and goes on building upto even 90 mg to get over depression. Generally the doctor will try with the lowest dose for 2-3 weeks and increase it depending on the benefit and side effects. Vortioxetine is comparatively a newer antidepressant and you have to try out the dose. Again...more

Dear, Substance abuse and addiction needs to be treated. If you’re ready to stop the substance and willing to get the support you need, you can recover from addiction and abuse —no matter how bad the addiction or how powerless you feel. The first step in treating addiction is accepting that you have a problem. Confronting an addiction and accepting responsibility for your actions isn’t easy. But it’s a necessary step on the road to treatment and recovery. You should then consult a psychiatrist /...more

Yes you can for 1-1.5 months, every 6 months and then stop. Excess vitamins are also not good for the body.

Dear Amit,
In bipolar disorder, divaa 750 mg or more will be the treatment in the long run. Nexito can be ditched for mirtaz - but NOT divaa.
There is a risk of switching to mania if you stop divaa.

Hello and welcome to Lybrate.my advice. Mirtazapine, sold under the brand name remeron among others, is an antidepressant primarily used to treat depression. Its full effect may take more than four weeks to occur, with some benefit possibly as early as one to two weeks. Often it is used in depression complicated by anxiety or trouble sleeping.
I suggest telephonic counseling for you.

Dear Anjana,
Mirtazapine is a sedating antidepressant. Good to know that your sleep improved. Every drug causes some damage to the body. You need to tolerate them for the benefit that you will be getting by taking it. Think of the harm caused to your body due to depression and not sleeping.

Dear , anxiety disorder is a disorder and not a disease. You should understand the eifference between mental disorder and mental disease. Mental diseases are treated with medicines and mental disorders are treated with other holistic methods. I need to have more information so that I can help you wean off the medicines. Online counseling, psychotherapy and life style changes should help you. Post a detailed private question to me. I will help you manage your anxiety disorder. Take care.

It depends on the improvement of your symptoms for which you are taking mirtazapine and its duration. Better option can be, try to avoid taking medicine late night if it is so. Take it latest by 8.30 pm. If still drowsyness persist visit your doctor who prescribed you or whomever you have consulted.
