I take 60mg mirtazapine every night before bed, since 45mg has more of a sedating effect can i take 45 then the other 15 right before bed? insomnia

See a psychiatrist.: The dose that you are on is on a high side. Mirtazapine is an atypical antidepressant which also stimulates appetite in smaller doses but can cause sedation in doses 30 mg. And above. I suggest taking a 45 mg . And a 3 mg of melatonin together. Using sleep hygiene is also very important. Anxiety maybe causing insomnia as well.

No difference: You can try it but I do not believe that will help with your insomnia.
