How long for mirtazapine to work for anxiety

I’ve been on 15mg of mirtazapine for 4 weeks now and although it’s helping with sleeping and my anxiety is less, it’s still there.

Don’t feel like throwing myself off a cliff anymore though, which yes I’m making light of but was in such a dark place I really could have.

The literature says 4-6 weeks for full benefit but a bit of research says it can be longer for some

Just wondered how long it took to fully work for others

And yes it makes me constantly hungry but I’m a distance runner so that’s nothing I’m not used to after a long run.
