Hey, everyone!
I'm not sure if you remember me; I posted a topic a while back when I was first starting Mirtazapine, and now here I am a month down the line.
I must say, I quite like Mirtazapine. I take it for anxiety, not depression, and because I was having trouble sleeping. Now, as far as putting me to sleep goes, I think they are brilliant. I take one an hour before I am going to bed and I sleep all the way 'til morning. And I have literally suffered no side effects.
Now, where anxiety is concerned... am I as bad as I used to be? No. I used to work myself into a blind panic; I would cry, I would have panic attacks, I would call the out of hour doctor, and generally be inconsolable. It was awful. Now, I don't get anywhere near that freaked out now, nowhere near it. But I wouldn't exactly say I feel calm either. There is definitely still some anxiety. It's just quieter, haha.
The problem is, I like the mirtazapine cause it helps me sleep, so I am not entirely sure what to do.

I am on week 4-5 on 30mg now, and not noticed a decrease in anxiety yet. Dreams are like waking with a start last couple of days. Arms fill pins and needles a little more at times also.

My anxiety has been a bit ropey at best. I am having symptoms involving my scalp and this burning sensation, which scares the heck out of me because it is coming from inside my head. I also get the tingly arms, too.
Basically, all Mirtazapine is helping me with is sleeping and that's about it. Some days my anxiety isn't too bad, others I can whip myself into a frenzy in a matter of seconds.
