I've never been on Mirtazipine, but I've heard it can cause a lot of grog.

I've been on Risperidone on and off quite a lot over the years, and when I was younger, even a mg would have me on my knees for days. But recently I've been on 6mg a day and felt little in the way of side effects. I think some people just can't tolerate much medication without feeling knocked out.

I would have expected that the side-effects would have worn off after such a long time on the meds - could there be any other reasons you're experiencing such tiredness? E.g. A mild infection can knock you off your feet, or 'winter blues' or SAD which can be at its worst at this time of year. Make sure you're taking the right doses of the meds too, just incase there's been a mistake. Maybe you're anaemic? It's worth checking these things out, just in case.
