Was at the mrs joint 2 nights ago and couldn't sleep. I asked her to get me something to help me sleep. She comes back with a tiny pill which she bites in half. I ingested half of it at 113Opm nd within 3O I was out
Wake up next day at 530am rushing to work coz I'm late I feel drowsy as fuck . Get to work and I'm struggling to stay awake, I'm zoning in and out, slurred speach really bad and would from out of nowhere get a rush of energy for 2 seconds see silver flashes then hit bottom again and feel drowsy. Had a coffee felt a little better got through the day. Got home ate sat on the couch zoning out, then went to bed because I was bored. Got into bed at 715pm. Woke up 2 times for a couple of minutes but went right back to sleep till 530am the next morning.
I'm at work now, still feel drowsy, still getting a rush of tingling sensations whenever I am slightly excited.... And time is going fucking slow!!!
Anyone know much about this drug? Iv read on wiki it's an anti depressant? Anyone taken it b4?

The difference between Mirtazapine and most anti-depressants is due to the fact it's an SNRI. Most modern ADs are Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors (SSRI) - which basically means they stop the "re-uptake" of serotonin in the brain, ergo increasing the levels and eliciting the therapeutic effect (over a longer period of time) of increasing the mood; atleast in theory. (Serotonin is actually responsible for way more than mood, but psychiatric meds tend to work on a pretty simple model - hence the amount of co-pharmacy in treating some disorders)
However, Mirtazapine also works with levels of norepinephrine/noradrenaline in a similar fashion; hence classification as an SNRI.
You probably got drowsy because it seems to hit histamine receptors too.
