mirtazapine 30mg giving me restless legs which drives me crazy
Posted , 8 users are following.
When i take my mirtazapine at night it makes my insomnia a lot worse, the feelings in my feet and legs drives me crazy, but when I drink alcohol, which is once a week I don't get the restless legs. I have explained this to my doctor and she said I shouldn't drink whilst on them, but if don't drink once a week I never get any sleep. My doctor says it's the alcohol giving me restless legs, but I know its the mirtazapine. The tablets do make me want to sleep, but the restless legs keeps me awake.

Horrible!!! Have you potassium checked.
I suffer all my life with restless legs and arm.
Ask to go on baclofen it helps with the RLS.
You need to tell your Dr to pull his fingers
Out?

I would ask your doctor for a different medication than mirtazapine. There are a few options to try out, depending on why you are taking mirt in the first place. You can take an Antidepressant plus a sleep aid for example....
I personally HATED the weight gain issue with Mirt and am now on
Wellbutrin (Antidepressant), Vortioxetine (Antidepressant like Mirt, but without the weight gain and sleepiness), Clonazepam for Anxiety and half a Zolpidem for sleep at night.
