Yes of course I try it. Go up to 60mg at some point who was a way too much activating for me.

I use a very low dose before bedtime to help me to fall asleep, a dose of 3.5mg. I cant take more of it anymore, it tend to affect me in a bad way, too much noradrenaline effect who leave me with sedation at daytime with agitation and worse headache. It can cause hypotension, when I was at 45mg day I had hypotension and it was still a lot sedating for me...and to be honnest, mirtazapine is not good for anxiety, my Doc and the 2 Pdoc I had told me they never had a single case of anxiety who answer to mirtazapine...but when its add to another AD like a ssri, it can produce a stronger anxiolytic effect and decrease some of the ssri side effects...thats worked for me on 45mg day of mirt and 20mg of prozac but the Pdoc stop the mirtazapine slowly over a 3 months period and when I was only on prozac I start having panic attakcs...
