Mirtazapine and side effects

I've been on 15mg for less than two weeks. From day one I've had fidgety legs in my sleep. I've been kicking out. I've also been shouting. Last night I walked into the kitchen, had a go at my partner and went back to bed. Does this sound familiar to anyone? She says I'm awful and she's not getting any sleep. Will it pass

what other side effects are common here?

I'm coming off citalopram 40mg while taking these. I've been told these don't affect your sex drive like citalopram do. This is why I've been prescribed them. I'm worried I'll put on weight with them too

help please

    If the Mirtazapine makes you angry then it’s not for you. I just stopped cold turkey after on 15mg for over a year.  I think all its good for is sleeping.  So glad to be off it.  If you can handle it, quit now while you’re not hooked.
