[QUOTE="EllsKBells, post: 1529025, member: 338121"] Hi [USER=228412]@Okulu[/USER] I took mirtazapine for two weeks a couple of years ago, but quickly stopped because of severe side effects. I don't remember it having any affect on my blood sugars, but if you're anything like me, it will make you extremely drowsy, and make it quite difficult to wake up. It kicks in pretty quickly, no more than about 20 minutes. Is your prescribing doctor aware that you have Type 1? Personally, I don't like to take anything that could affect my ability to wake up if I have a hypo, but then I do have a habit of going low over night. Oh, and if you have to get up in the morning, I would recommend taking it early the night before - it lasts a good twelve hours, and it can make getting up fairly interesting. As I'm sure you've been told, it's not a good idea to drive if you're still feeling drowsy. Personally, it wasn't the right drug for me, but I hope you find it helpful :) [/QUOTE]
