What Causes Mirtazapine To Lose Its Efficacy?

My doctor has prescribed Mirtazapine to help me fall asleep. I tried it before and did not have good results with it so I stopped taking it. I have primarily using cannabis edibles for my sleep. Will Mirtazapine interact with cannabis and alcohol negatively.

Hi,

Cannabis during early stage of use may act as a sleep aid, but chronic use may lead to insomnia. So, if you're using sleeping aid medication in place of cannabis, this needs monitoring. So don't use cannabis, you may take Benzodiazepines with anti-depressants for sleep aid.



Hope I have answered your query.
