Hi Jeffery, I, like you was on a bit of a downer and put on Mirtazapine by my GP. The GP told me to start on half a 15mg tablet and to increase the dose when I felt I needed it. A month later I am still on half a tablet and feeling more able to cope and sleeping better. I am not too worried about becoming addicted as I weaned myself off Zopiclone, before starting the Mirtazapine. Good luck.
