A member asked:
I am sleeping so much better on 15 mg of mirtazipine but can i take this drug long term? have been on it for just over a month now.

No: Mirtazipine is an anti depressant and taken long term can cause suicidal tendencies.

Yes: Mirtazepine, unlike benzodiazepines, does not cause tolerance/dependance typically. Patients can benefit from long term use under a physicians supervision.
