I've been prescribed for insomnia but it makes me feel happy and ready to move.

Hello, Mary! How are you?

No, it is not.

The FDA classifies it as an antidepressant that is used to treat major depressive disorder. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I was wondering if Mirtazapine is considered a narcotic? I have been prescribed a 30 mg dose and would like to know if lab work would show any narcotics in my system if I start taking it? I haven't been able to sleep.

Sally please see Verwon's message. This drug is NOT a narcotic (opioid). It is an antidepressant, mostly used to treat depression, but can also be prescribed for anxiety and insomnia.
