Answers:
I did as sweetboniie did, and it came up as an anti-depressant!. The doctor is thinking you're depressed!.

Are you feeling overwhelmed lately!? Having sleeping, eating, trouble!? Is it hard to organize yourself and get going!? I've got a link below about depression I hope you'll read!. Do a search online for depression and read the various links - just make sure they're legitimate!.

I'd like to give you a bit of advice I wish I'd heard at an early age!. Ask questions of your doctor!. Ask why they're giving you this medication - what's it for!? How long before it should start working!? What are the side effects!? Don't just take a prescription without knowing why the doctor is prescribing it,okay!? Speak up for yourself, or take someone with you who will speak up for you!. I'm forgetful, so I literally make notes and take them with me when I see the doctor!. That way, I get my questions answered!. Sometimes I take a small tape recorder, so I know what the doctor tells me (I always ask permission to use it and it's never been a problem)!.

I hope you start to feel better soon!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I googled it
Mirtazapine is an antidepressant introduced by Organon International in 1994 used for the treatment of moderate to severe depression!. Mirtazapine has a tetracyclic chemical structure and is classified as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA)!. Mirtazapine and Maprotiline are the only tetracyclic antidepressants that have been approved by the U!.S!. Food and Drug Administration to treat depression!. Because of its unique pharmacologic profile, mirtazapine is virtually devoid of anticholinergic effects, serotonin-related side effects,[1] and adrenergic side effects (orthostatic hypotension and sexual dysfunction)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its time to worry when the doctor says take on a day for the rest of your life, and gives you seven pills!.!.!.
