    For anxiety, you can take mirtazapine tablets. Mirtazapine is a very good anti-anxiety drug, especially for anxiety associated with sleep problems. For example, mirtazapine is very effective for patients with severe insomnia. However, mirtazapine also has some side effects. Some people may gain weight after taking it. Especially when they first take it, they may feel dizzy and uncomfortable, and some people will give up. The most taboo thing for some women is that taking mirtazapine may be accompanied by weight gain, so it is taboo. Mirtazapine is a dual-channel drug that can act on both adrenergic receptors and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors, and its clinical effects are relatively reliable.

    However, it should be noted that mirtazapine should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and attention should be paid to the starting dose. Generally, the starting dose of 30 mg mirtazapine starts from 1/4 tablet, which is 7.25 mg. Sometimes you take 1/4 in the morning, 1/4 in the evening, and some start with half a tablet. According to different situations, it is better to use mirtazapine under the guidance of a doctor to be safer.
