[charlie17]

anyone been in mirtazapine im on sleeping tablets but no help can i take this with sleeping tablets to cut them down? any advice would be could. cos im knackered.xx

Yes, you can take them with sleepers, mirtazipine is supposed to be a sedative drug but TBH I've had no luck with getting any sleep on them and my psych won't prescribe me sleepers.

hello

so how do u cope cos i feel like ripping my eyes out what miligrams are u on?? thanks for replying.

 

[unlucky]

I don't cope, I feel like ripping my eyes out!! I'm on 30mg but I really think they are useless though I know they have helped a lot of people on here. I seem to have the constitution of a horse when it comes to sedative tablets. I've seen me taking mirtazipine, a sleeping tablet and 2 nightol and still only getting a couple of hours!! No wonder sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture!!

It does help a lot of people, if your doc has recommended them then I'd give them a go. I've not really had any bad side effects on them but neither have I had any good effects!! I know what you mean about the stomach thing - I've got Irritable Bowel Syndrome because of my nerves and my tummy is constantly sore and washing machine like!!

thanks

i dont know what to do doc didnt recomend them ive had them before but it made all my muscles heavy and i couldnt move. i know what u mean about ur tummy i have to have a scan for gallstones. i give up. thanks for listening. hope u sleep tonight.x

 

[unlucky]

You too, though its doubtful for me!! I've got a hubby who snores like a train and a 9 week old kitten who sleeps in the crook of my neck and I've no sleepers - not conducive to a good nights sleep!! Ho hum, just need to make the best of a bad lot!!

I'm on 15 mg a day and they do nothing for me. Even tried to get it increased but no luck. Luckly enough my stomach is fine with it as I also have Irratible bowl syndrome. Unlucky- awww sorry to hear that you're not having a good time of it on them.

All things considered- i might as well be taken a sugar lump or a plecbo because at the start I did find that they helped, but, now I see no effect.

My sleeping patten on them is totally off the scale. When I used to work, I used to have 8 hours a night bog standard times- getting up every now and then for the loo... but now with these tablets my sleeping is affected as well as my eating.

I take 45 mg of mirtazapine and 99% of the time they are fantastic they help with sleep in thre most I dont have any side effects and I wouldnt be without them they have been my saviour, though they dont help with paranoia.
