I have insomnia for about a month and was prescribed trazaonde. side-effects were bad that was switched over to mirtazapine. ive been taking mirtazapine for about a week and still dont sleep the best. how long does the sedation take to work? weeks?

Effectiveness of a medicine depends on many things- its absorption, diose ,appropriateness etc. Give it another week and if it does not work re- consult the treating doc. Wishing you ZZZZs.

Your comments indicate issues with tolerating medications used to induce sleep, which is very common in my experience. Sleep medications if used chronically are often disappointing at best. Instead, consider a full sleep evaluation and even an overnight study if your insomnia continues.
