    Hi Ann, I've not come off off but am on Mirtazpine. What I think is happening here is that your body and mind are still adjusting to you not taking Mirtazpine anymore. Also as I'm sure you're aware Mirtazpine has a sedative effect. Whereas before, you may not have remembered your dream's as much, as you were in a deeper sleep, now your sleep is not as deep and you remember your dreams more. And more vivid! Donna xxx
