This came about because my doctor caught on to the fact that I like benzos a little too much. To be fair, I did warn (hint strongly at) her that this was the case and she gave them to me anyway so, well... yeah. So yeah, pretty much the mirtazapine fucked me up really bad and I got all the side effects and for the next three days I had little to no fine motor control, problems with balance, insane drowsiness (slept like 22 hours the first night), really bad dry mouth and some totally bizarre cognitive problems. If I tried to think about anything too difficult the thoughts literally felt like they were dropping out of head, like I was jumping to grasp something and just missing it. So I was a very frustrated, wobbly, sleepy retard for three days. Sucked.
Yeah Mirtazapine sucks balls. I was on them for a few years and was even on an experimental high dose. Was doing fuck all. In the end I switch to Effexor. They seem much better as far as treating my depression but yeah not the best for sleep. I dont fight it anymore. I just get sleep when I can. A few hours here, a few hours there and walk around in a zombie state most other times.
