Yes, I have been on it for quite a long time. It is highly sedating and it's anxiolytic effect is comparable to that of diazepam. The usual anxiolytic dose is 20 mg at night right before retiring. Morning heaviness will be a problem to some patients.
Unlike mirtazapine (which is the US equivalent of mianserin) mianserin will not cause any troublesome anticholinergic symptoms, but surprisingly it will improve those symptoms. Dry mouth is usually a symptom of anxiety and depression and mianserin relieves it effectively.
Good luck to you, take care
