Can I take it earlier in the evening around 7:00 pm to avoid this drowsiness effect?

Question

Hello, I take Mirtazapine 7.5 mg at bedtime but I feel sleepy until the next day. Can I take it earlier in the evening instead of waiting until bedtime? Do you think that 7.5 mg could have an effect on anxiety or should I go to 15 mg?

Hello, You can indeed take it a little earlier to reduce drowsiness the next day. This will not affect the effectiveness. By taking the product regularly, the drowsiness should gradually fade over 1 to 2 weeks. Have a nice evening! Generally, it is necessary to go to 15mg, but for some people 7.5mg could be enough. You should allow at least 1 to 2 weeks of regular use before concluding whether or not the dose is effective for you.
