A member asked:

How sedating is remeron (mirtazapine)? would i still be able to take care of my newborn or will it make me too tired?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to tell: Over 50% of patients on Remeron (mirtazapine) experience sedation, but it's hard to tell in advance how much of it you'll have. Talk with your Dr. about your concerns, please!

Remeron and Seroquel (quetiapine). Both can be sedating and both can potentially cause weight gain. Does that mean doctors would usually avoid combining them?

A member asked:

Would a 15mg tablet of mirtazapine/remeron work same way as cutting half a 30mg tablet? Might be silly question but wonder if there's an actual difference. E.g. I heard 15mg tab is more sedating. What about half of 30mg tab? Thanks in advance.
