How long until you get used to the drowsiness of antidepressants?

Question

I take mirtazapine at night before i go to bed i only take 15mg but when i wake up i feel so drowsy still ;( An it can last most of the day until about 5pm hmmm iv only took it acouple of days but when (if ever) will the daytime drowsyness stop??

And also if the daytime drowsiness stops will it stop helping me to sleep?

Answer 1

!5 mg. of Mirtazapine is a small dose.

I also took Mirtazapine to help me sleep. It did a very good job.

I never felt drowsiness during the day.

Maybe your doctor can try somethig different.

Maybe he/she can add an antidepressant that will help you feel more alert and be able to think more clearly during the day.

Discuss this at your next appointment.  I hope things work out for you.

Best Wishes.
