What is the most powerful non benzo drug for sleep?

Is the weight gain on mirtazapine tolerable? What side effects can I expect? Thank you.

I think it varies. I good friend was on it for about a year at a high dose for it's antidepressant qualities (so 2 or 3 times what you'd have for sleep). He's the slimmest man I know and he put on about 4 or 5 lbs, but then got it under control. I think it took a bit of messing around to hit the right dose, but he used mirtazapine for over a year after struggling with the addictive side of z-drugs. But I appreciate your concern. Weight gain can be an issue, but I think people tend to post the horror stories.

Did it have an effect on libido?

Sorry, I don't know. It didn't come up (so to speak).
