Started mirtazapine - jitters

Yes, I was like that too, dropped cups etc but it passed 👍 sleep like a log every night, & live a normal life during the day.

I felt ok on Mirtazapine when I first started taking it.  I felt very tired for the first few days, but that wore off a little bit.  First night on the drug, I did feel some restless leg side effects.  Over the next week or so, I started feeling jittery.  How to describe it ... it was similar to akathisia, but not.  It's weird, I was still very tired, but at the same time felt restless, like i drank too much coffee.  I also experienced restless arms and a slight tremor in my left hand.  I felt uncoordinated while walking down stairs.  As of a few nights ago, I have discontinued mirtazapine completely.  I had tapered off and got down to 1.875 mg and then discontinued completely.  I am still feeling some RLS symptoms, which I hope diminishes, despite being off the drug for 2 nights.  Knowing what I know now, I would have never taken this drug.  For some, it works well.  I think many have a love it or hate it mentality.  I fall into the latter category.  I started off at 7.5 mg, then upped the dose to 11 mg (which made my RLS even worse) and then went down to 3.75 mg and then 1.875 mg.  I was only on the drug for one month.  That was enough for me.  The jittery feeling on top of feeling unmotivated and wanting to stay in bed all day made it an easy choice to discontinue.  This drug should be banned.  This is a potent drug, even a small speck will impact you the next day.
