Side effects after being off mirtazapine for about a month?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I no longer need it to sleep anymore and my depression has got considerably better after quitting but for some reason I am sleeping more heavily than I ever have in my entire life.. I am now using nothing to help me sleep and I can barely open my eyes in the morning and I hallucinate severely at night (I have for a long long tiime, but it's worse now and far more disturbing)..
Is this a side effect of quitting mirtazapine?? I can't tell if I'm ill or it's just because I'm medication free for the first time in a year..
I have always been a light sleeper, sleeping about 3/4 hours a night before starting mirtazapine..
I started getting hallucinations about two years ago but since I've quit they are getting stronger and more confusing. I don't know if it all down to mirtazapine???
Has anyone else had this issue??? (The hallucinations are only a night when I settle down btw).

I have had to take a sleep aid the past few nights purely because I've been afraid and too anxious to sleep but I'll be trying to sleep naturally again, hopefully I'll get there in the end, once I'm 100% over mirtazapine. If the hallucinations continue after a while I'll have to double check with my doctor, but thank you for letting me know, it has put my mind at relative ease
