Hi,

I'm on day 10 of mirtazapine 15mg & i feel shocking if i'm being honest. I feel so agitated with no patience & feel so angry at everything, not to mention very low. Everything is just getting on my nerves big time!!!

Did anyone else get this with this drug & is it normal because i thought it was meant to help calm you down. I'm just so sick of feeling crap everyday!!!!

    Hi I have just stopped mine after 10 days my feet were swelling up my temper was terrible I had the shakes felt like I was on another planet I couldn't drive because of this I'm going back to my Doc to see if there is anything else but I'm scared to try anything after this

    I couldn't stand how I felt after two days off it I still feel weird but know there is an end coming

    Good luck if you carry on with them but for me no way

      Butterfly. If you truly feel the mirtazapine is causing the anger. Please stop them and ring your,Dr or the emergency Dr for advice. Xx

    Hi Chrissy,

    I think i will stop them too. This is just scary i don't feel right at all & it always happens in the afternoon i have noticed.

      Hi it's day 2 without them still not back to normal but better than I was 

      I know the longer I was going to be on them the harder it wod be to come off I simply couldn't have continued with them I broke my computer throwing on the floor with rage burnt myself on the fire because I wasn't with it I cried myself silly because I hated feeling like that I had to stop 

      But please do what ever because you want to not on how I felt

      There must be another drug with less harmful side effects x

    Hi,Butterfly. i have been on mirt 15mg for nearly 6 weeks now. I was given these as a last resort after 17yrs of other anti ds either wearing off or getting horrendous side effects with the ssris. I am virtually bedridden with a long term neurological illness, so docs prescribe me anti ds to enable me to cope with it. I have always coped with it but since the mirt i have been so low and snapping at my carers. Its like permanent pmt and i havent had a period for 4 years. lol. I have no family so i feel awful to my poor carers . As well as this i feel so physically ill like my head weighs about 17 stone and my body is so heavy . Also the head pressure and pins and needles in face are horrendous. Its awful really as these like i said are my last resort. Just hope it gets easier in time. Would your gp try you on something else. I really know how you feel as do many others on here so glad i found it. I cant do much for you but as my gp says to me i will pray for you.

    Just to add, when my carer rang my gp to tell him how i feel he said to increase the dose to 30mg and it will get better in time.( this from a gp who just prays ) I dare not increase in case i feel worse.

      Hello Carole,

      I'm sorry you are suffering too. I think i will just stop it cannot be worse than this & is defo these tablets that is making me this way. It's making me feel really evil. These are dangerous in the wrong hands & can imagine someone doing bad things on these. No more mirtazapine for me!!!!!
