Mirtazapine Withdrawal Gastrointestinal Symptoms
Posted , 17 users are following.
Wednesday makes 5 weeks since my last 7.5 Remeron. I am still having cramps and intestinal churning with trapped gas & bloating. Also, the Mirtazapine must have played a part in my blood pressure/heart rate, as I am having, since stopping the pills, trouble stablizing my BP/HR on the same medicine/dose that I was using prior to stopping. I have been on the heart medicine for at least 8 years. The sleep is improving, and the Phenergan is helping with the nausea. Anyone else having GI issues this long? I have IBS, but this is beyond that.

I'm thinking I'll get into the daily meditation habit again - I stopped because my mind was racing too fast, but I'm planning on starting at 5 m and workng up to the twice daily 1/2 hour meditations - at least that never has side effects!

I am having the gastro problems, painful and like uncontrollable acid at the start of my stomach. I started to reduce a bit slowly but my GP said to just stop altogether. I hope these symptoms go away soon.
Can anyone here reassure me of the withdrawal from mirtzapine being manageable please?
I do also get restless leg from the withdrawals I think

Can you please describe your stomach symptoms for me as I am completely off of it as of 8 nights last night and before while being on and now after being off of it I have bloating and at times my food doesn't lay right and when that happens I drink water and then purge so the pain will go away.

I have been on Mirtazapine for 3 1/2 weeks now. The 1st week I noticed I had a ravenous appetite where I was eating one thing after another never getting full. The 2nd week I looked like I was putting on weight, like my face was fatter and my stomach was bigger (I had a baby almost 4 months ago so I am already super self conscious about my weight). I forgot that my Doctor had told me that one of the side effects is weight gain but I've rarely ever experienced side effects with any medication so I didn't think it would happen. Then and there I should have declined taking this medication but I didn't. Week 3 I woke up one morning and my stomach was even bigger like I had gained 10 lbs over night. I just thought it was because I haven't been eating the best since I had my son and now its finally caught up with me but my stomach started getting bigger and bigger by the day! Now its been 3 1/2 weeks and I'm having stomach pains and I look like I'm 7 months pregnant again. Finally I googled if Mirtazapine made anyone else bloated and BOOM it has happened to alot of people. I wish I would have looked into it sooner but I talked to my Doctor today and he said to just stop taking it. I was only on 15mg a night. Hopefully my stomach will deflate soon : /
