Mirtazapine Remeron Causing Knee Joint Problems?
Posted , 16 users are following.
Hi, does anybody out there get bad knee problems with Mirtz?
I have been on 30mg for around 11 weeks and since taking I have developed bad knees and a bad neck. Would very much appreciate any similar feed back.
Thanks and take care.

I take Mirtazapine 30mg at night now and it helps a lot with anxiety attacks and with getting some rest. I did have headaches a bit like hangover headaches, that nothing much helped. The good news is they have stopped, and I only get my usual tension headache, about one day in ten or twenty. It did take a few weeks to settle down. I did take all sorts of over the counter headache pills for the pain, and they helped a bit. I didn't get any memorable joint pains from Mirt. Judith, if it turns out Mirt has too much impact, I am sure there are other meds that will. I have been there and you can get past this. David.

I would say that without Mirt I would not have been able to start exercise or CBT . For me the crippling anxiety attacks started to improve after 4 days and I was in a whole better place after 4 weeks. If you can tolerate the side effects, I think Mirt is pretty good. All the best, David.

I was on mitt for about six months and noticed hip pains and legs too told my doc he said unrelated to mirt
About a year ago the doc messed up my prcription and gave me 15 instead of 30 and guess what? Hip pains went way down I'm in the process of getting off was off for 20 days all my hip n leg pain went away
I bet it's the mirt from my view point

My GP said it could possibly be them, Arthralgia is listed as a rare side effect.
Think I'm gonna cut down to 15 and see what happens

Hi there. I thought I would register so this is my first time saying anything on this website. I've been on Mirtazapine for a year. I was originally prescribed 15mg but it made me faint so I went down to half a tablet.
Half a tablet was working great for me. I was able to do a lot of things I never would have been able to do before Mirtazapine. Before I would literally cry just being in a grocery store and before I wasn't able to work. I'm now working full time and able to support myself but in the last month something has definetly changed. I had to go see a walk in doctor because I was starting to have very very abnormal thoughts and dreams. I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship that I can't seem to get out of either.
I also developed anger problems and body trembles. My eyes and fingers have been twitchng a lot. What I found most interesting about this discussion which is why I was so prompt to register and reply is that in the last three months my hips and lower back and neck have been in extremely poor shape. I've had to go to a massage therapist and my massage therapist did an assesment and said my hips and tailbone are completely out of alignment. At the walk in clinic I managed to get a referall to get X-Rays which are yet to be read to me. The walk in doctor didn't see a connection between my all of a sudden pains and my Mirtazapine symptoms but for me it seems so out of the blue that I was curious to see if others were going through the same thing.
The walk in doctor did tell me it would be best if I went off Mirtazapine all together that's why he suggested I start small by taking a quarter. I had the most intense withdrawals from just going down to a quarter but I feel it's getting better. I had to call in sick at work because of it. My stomach felt like it was going to explode and it was like my body was craving it to make it sleepy. Mirtazapine knocks me out every night so it's been hard falling asleep but just a little bit of Mirtazapine is good for me.
I'm sorry if this post is so long I've just been very concerned and thought it would be helfpul to share that my hips are out of alignment and I had to get X-Rays for it.
If it helps I'm 23 and I'm female,

Thank you for answer. Well, actually I have developed joint problems slowly over the months while on Mirt. Moreover I struggle with daily "flu" feelings ... it is difficult to explain. Simply it is like you are coming down with a flu or cold. It is different intensity everyday
