    Hi

    I have been taking Mirtazapine 30mg for the past 7 weeks and I would like to ask you to explain 'fuzzy in the head' to me if you would. I feel like I have a vice on my head with pressure and a fullness in my ears and my Dr doesnt think it is medication related. I also feel an imbalance. No nausea but I am wondering if I am having headaches causing these symptoms related to the Mirtazapine?

      Hi, thanks for your comment julie1111. Did you feel the vice like symptom and fullness in ears or as my doctor says he has never heard of this and Ive been told Im having tension headaches which is causing these feelings. It just seems too co-incidental and the feeling is there all day. Really frustrating. Its comforting to hear other people share their experiences.

    I had my first tablet on Thursday night and slept most of yesterday, all night and still have brain fog. That is the only tablet I will take. I suffer from anxiety and this medication is not for me. I shall contact my Dr.

    Hi, I took Mirtazapine on Thursday evening and haven't stopped sleeping since then! Total brain fog and will never ever take another one. Relieved I'm not imagining these awful reactions.
