does anyone know if it is ok to take kalms as a sleep aid with mirtazapine? I've read online to not take kalms with sertraline. Also anyone got any good natural sleeping aids? keep waking up at 5am and not being able to get back to sleep. It is seriously affecting my job
Hello there,
I took Kalms while on Mirt and it didnt really help me; however, as I started to taper off Mirt I started taking 5HTP and it helps with my sleep along with an eye mask ( works wonders ) ! If I do wake I can get back to sleep quite quickly.
Hope this is of help. 
hi whats 5HTP? if you dont mind me asking? Also did you find the mirt to even work? ive been on mirt for 2 months at 15mg and its not helped in the slightest!
Hi
How long have you been taking mirtazapine
I took quehiapine for 4 weeks while the Mir kicked in I sleep well now on 15mg
Regards
Ive been on 15mg for 8 weeks now. At first it knocked me out and i slept like a baby! This last week it seems to have just stopped working. I fall asleep at about 11 and wake up at 5am every morning and cannot get back to sleep. its so weird
Hi what are you taking for if you mind me asking ?
mirtazapine
Sorry meant to say what are you taking it for
Hi Ruby. I took Melatonin tablets with Mirtazapine. You cant buy them here but have to send of to the US for them. Let me know if you want address. I also tried Phenergan, anti-histamines. Neither of which worked for me, but nothing worked to put me to sleep except Zopiclone, i am a chronic insomniac. But you never know, they may work for you.
Hi. 5HTP is a form of St. Johns Wort.
Same for me, i've been on it for 6 an a half weeks and not helped at all, infact my sleep is worse.
Try Melatonin tablets maybe.
