I started it about 10 days ago and was on my previous medication for a few of those days and cross tapered off it.

I felt dizzy and faint, sometimes slow and confused and felt overly angry.

I went out drinking (even though I knew I definitely wasn't feeling well enough for this) and after something bad happened that night + not feeling well at all I went home.

I now feel awful, really bad mentally, so many bad thoughts.

Has anyone had any similar experiences? Or does anyone think this isn't the medication and instead just the bad experience?

    I drank twice when i was on mirtazapine and both times I felt so awful the next day. My anxiety and depression were worse. I cried off and on all day both of those day and just felt so low. I dont know if it's the mirtazapine or the effects the alcohol has on depression.
