Can I take 7.5mg and Mirtazapine together?

Why this happens

Both medicines work by slowing down the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). When used at the same time, their sedative effects add together, making the overall effect much stronger than if they were taken alone.

You should only take these two medicines together if your doctor has specifically told you to do so. If you are prescribed both, take them exactly as directed, usually right before bed. Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform any tasks that require alertness. It is illegal to drive if your ability is impaired by these medicines. It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol, as it will make these dangerous side effects much worse.
