I think you said you took this antidepressant while you were in Japan. I hear it's quite similar to mirtazapine (Remeron). Was that your experience?
Kind regards

Hi EDYes, I tried it while on Prozac.It is very similar to Mianserin & Mirtazapine .
It " enhanced" Prozac's effect from the first dose and felt much better ( more anxiety reduction,better sleep and increase in appetite and food tastes great!), exactly like when I added Mirtazapine to Effexor , but all those effects (except appetite) diminshed quickly so in both cases I stopped before gaining too much weight.
Mianserin ( the parent of both medications) is also the same but has less sedation.Regards,
DH

Hi DH!
Thank you for your reply :-)
>Mianserin.....
Really, mianserin was less sedating than mirtazapine? What dose of mianserin did you try?
Kind regards

> Really, mianserin was less sedating than mirtazapine? What dose of mianserin did you try?Yes , defenitly less sedating.Mirtazapine was the most sedating AD I took along with Doxepin and Trazodone.Then comes Amitriptyline with Mianserin 3rd.
Mianserin 30mg and I believe equals to Mirtazapine 30mg.
