Mirtaz....acne
Posted , 7 users are following.
So I started taking Mirtaz for insomnia. It works well for this, even though I ate my fridge. About a month in to taking Mirt I started breaking out around my chin. I have always had good skin and I was doing nothing different. My breakouts started getting really bad and I was getting desperate for answers as to what was causing this new accute adult sudden onset acen. It didn't take long in researching to find that one of the most common complaints in those taking this medication, besides increased appetite, was acne! Well, I started weaning myself off Mirt and am finally off it. Downside, now I wake up in the middle of the night and can't ge back to sleep! My doctor is going to now try Zolpidem, we will see how that works! I will keep you posted.

Are you taking mirtazapine for insomnia and what dose are you taking? I have been taking it for insomnia for about year and when I try to stop my insomnia comes back. Have you ever not taking it in the 6 years you have been taking it
Thanks

Never heard of mirt causing acne,however increased sugar levels may contribute.Mirt also has an affect on hormones...Doctors can now prescribe a melentonin for sleeping, works and is very safe

Yes you can buy liquid Melatonin from natural food shops.The liquid solution sprayed under the toungen has a quicker onset to faciliate sleep. The melatonin prescribe from the doctor is a slow release tablet to facilate and maintain undisturb sleep..both forms of melatonin have its benifits..The melatonin from the doctors is synthetic , however, suprisingly enough, is closer the structure of the melatonin we naturally produce in comparison to the melatonin you purchase from health food shops, which is likely to contain animal parts and risk, however, natural also can be very safe. Melatonin is a Hormone produced in the pineal gland that activates/secreted at night to promote/regulate sleep...

The trick is to find something else that helps you sleep. Talk to your provider bout alternatives.
