Mirtazapine and numb fingers and toes

Does anyone know if Mirtazapine causes peripheral neuropathy (numb fingers / toes)?

I've been taking 45mg for 3 years, with good results after the grotty first 2 weeks, but over this time I've also gradually lost feeling in my toes and fingertips. I am not diabetic which can cause these symptoms.

I've been tried on several different antidepressants over many years and had to come off them due to side effects but I haven't come across this numbness before.

    Yes it does . Text book affects the extremities of your body. I was on it for back pain but hated it

    Been on mirt for a month and doubled the dies yesterday and have noticed cold numb little fingers. Did you sort your self out and was it the tablets?
