Need advice on mirt side effects.
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi, would like to ask any long term users of mirtazapine do you still have side efects and if so what are they. I dont know if my many symptoms are being made worse by mirtazapine. Also would like to ask how long usually does it take for side effects to wear off or become less severe. Will be very grateful for any advice.

Your side effects may outweigh the benefits. You may want to make an appointment with your Dr. again.

I have found your post extremely interesting and helpful. I,too, have been taking mirt 45mg for 6 years and am attempting to come off it. I am currently down to 15mg. Since being on the 15mg I have had some wd symptoms of muscle aches, nightmares, some insomnia (whole nights sometimes) and recently terrible lethargy and daytime tiredness. I totally agree that doctors should make it known that some people may have some difficuties in withdrawing from these drugs so that an informed choice can be made before starting on them. I have gained information from these forums that, once down to 7.5mg, it is a good idea to obtain the liquid form of mirt and then reduce the dose slowly by 1mg at a time thereafter (under guidance from your gp) to avoid any further serious wd.
Best wishes x
