Its difficult to know if my symptoms are anxiety plus i have a long term illness and am virtually bedridden , Would just like to hear from anyone who may know if the mirt can cause all these horrible symptoms just cant function at all feel so ill all the time and very down.

    Meant to add I'm new to these forums and I'm sorry that my comments are so long. If the moderators think that my comments would be better as a new discussion I totally understand.

    I had 15 mg Mirtazapine prescribed as a pain-killer (in addition to anti-infammatories and ludocaine patches) to be taken at night to help with agonising PHN in the morning.  It totally 'knocked me out' leaving me drugged-up dizzy and totally unable to function.  I just had to sleep for about three hours.  Halving the dose was no better.  I had to stop taking it and try to cope without it.  I would suggest renewing your efforts to make your GP understand that this one is not for you, and get him to try a different anti-convulsant - brands do differ.
