A member asked:
I started mirtazapine for anxiety. i know it reduces the ram sleep phase. is that a problem? if so, how do i get more rem sleep while on this medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirtazepine increases both norepinephrine and serotonin. Paradoxically, norepinephrine decreases melatonin and serotonin increases melatonin release. One simple method to determine if REM sleep is affected is monitoring sleep with a smart phone or smart watch. Polysomnography can accurately detail sleep disorders by measuring each sleep cycle. REM and Stage 3 are known to be "restorative sleep"
