So I went to my Psychiatrist the other day and complained about how I have never ending issues with getting to sleep. I have tried Imovane to some success but that is not something you should have to take every night. I guess he knew I wasn't going to leave his office without a solution because I am sick to death of living like this. His answer was adding Avanza (Mirtazapine) to my other anti-depressant Brintellix.

I feel that my problem is that I can't stop thinking about depressing thoughts even though I don't want to. Who would? Sometimes the only way you will get better is through medication so I am supportive of taking this.

I have only started taking Mirtazapine and can say that at 15mg you will get a very deep night's sleep. I only hope the drowsiness through the following day will go away. I will keep you po

Mirtazapine, originally branded Remeron, is an atypical antidepressant with noradrenergic and specific serotonergic activity. It blocks the α2 adrenergic auto- and heteroreceptors (enhancing norepinephrine release), and selectively antagonizes the 5-HT2 serotonin receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system. It also enhances serotonin neurotransmission at the 5-HT1 receptor and blocks the histaminergic (H1) and muscarinic receptors. Mirtazapine is not a serotonin or norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor but may increase serotonin and norepinephrine by other mechanisms of action.
