Today makes 7 weeks since the last dose of Mirtazapine. I am still sick. I feel a little better at times, but mostly: abdominal pain & cramps, nausea, anxiety, blood pressure and heart rate problems, headaches, weak, fatigue, vertigo, and generally sick. Some are not as bad as it has been, but I am still sick and miserable. I have been to the ER twice since this started because it has been so bad that I thought I had a serious health problem. It is hard to believe that I am still sick with this after 7 weeks of suffering. I had a complete lab workup, x-rays, and kidney function test. Anyone else suffering this long? Prayers are appreciated. David

    Hi everyone! I'm heartened by the encouraging messages I've read in this forum. My problems with the mirtazapine withdrawal seem to be physical, and have exacerbated my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So I'm staying on 30 mg until that improves , because my way of staving off depression and anxiety is to get out and about, and I can't do that if I can't walk. Then I'll start dropping a few mgs off a tablet every so often and wait 2 weeks each time to gauge the effect before the next step. I was caught out this time by the fact that it took 2 weeks for the effects to become apparent, and then they just kept getting worse.

    Thanks everyone, and let's keep trying!

    Pixie.
