A member asked:
Just started mirtazapine 7.5 mg after stopping lexapro 10mg. feeling very drowsy. does this side effect get better? what are some of the side effect of being on 7.5 mg? is this stronger than lexapro?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirtazapine definitely causes drowsiness and it should be taken at night. If you take it at night, the drowsiness is typically gone by morning. The dose you are on is a low dose. If after taking it at night you are still experiencing daytime drowsiness, let your doctor know. It does cause more drowsiness than Lexapro. Good luck to you!
