Mirtazapine
insomnia
"I suffer from major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and severe insomnia. I've been taking 15 mg of this plus 100 mg of Trazadone each night, to sleep, for almost 2 years. (on top of my depression meds, which we are still playing with).  The mirtazapine has been a life saver.  The trazadone helps, but without this drug I only slept an hour or two at a time.  with this, I generally sleep 6 hours before I wake up at all... and even then it's generally my bladder that wakes me.  I don't get any of the side effects people here keep talking about (drunk feeling, inability to wake up, numbness in the mouth, excessive sleep, etc)."
