I started on mirtazapine 15mg day before yesterday. i took one tablet at night and had good sleep of around 10 hrs. but the next day i felt completely drowsy and didn't take it at night. i could sleep yesterday night too but kept waking up few times in between. should i continue taking 15mg everyday or take alternate days or maybe reduce my dosage?
