Just Started Mirtazapine

Been on Mirtazapine for 5 days now. Worked almost imediatly for me after the first night however I felt very groggy the next day. Doc perscribed this for me to bridge the gap from weening off of Paxil. Not sure if I will stay on it for the long run. Conserned that it may raise trigliceride levels. Anyone have any information on this? Thanks

Before you start believing Remeron works because you feel better, be aware that it is a psychoactive drug (cocaine, benzos, opium, etc. also make some people feel better); therefore, the feeling effects caused by the drug (as opposed to those caused by your brain's adjusting to them):

1. vary from person to person. Remeron immediately makes some people feel MUCH worse.
2. are temporary (until you brain adjusts, which is the mechanism of physical dependence). If you stop Remeron now and still feel better, it was the placebo effect, a physical cause healed, or you "got over" a psychological cause. If you don't stop now you will become dependent on it and that means if you want to stop taking it, you'll learn the joys of withdrawal, which also vary from person to person.

Be careful. The brain begins to adjust to psychoactive drugs as soon as you start taking them, and that adjustment is what creates tolerance (effect wearing off) and dependence (you can't stop the drug without withdrawal). Have you searched for information on Remeron withdrawal?
