Vertigo and Mirtazapine??
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi, I was recently put on 30mg of Mirtazapine and over the past 2 days have experienced severe Vertigo. Has anyone else experienced similar?
Today my GP prescribed Prochlorperazine 5mg tablets 3 times a day to combat the symptoms. .. was interested to know if anyone thought there was a connection between the Mirtazapine and Vertigo or just coincidental?

GP took my blood pressure and examination before prescribing the meds....
She suggests it's vertigo, I did have it 5 years ago so know the symptoms.
It's ever present, when I stand up, walk.... just move my eyes even. Scary stuff....if I focus on the floor when I walk it's not too bad but the minute I look up or move my eyes everything spins. I've fallen quite a few times this week during to the disorientation. ...
I think Im going to ask if I need to change back to sertraline or a different option... x

Re its connection with mirt I have had several bouts of vertigo over the years but they have never coincided with taking mirt. My vertigo was probably caused by shifting of debris in my balance canals. Symptoms were worst when rolling over in bed, however the bouts only lasted a few days.
Best wishes.

It's definatry Vertigo, I suffered from it 5 years ago as part of vestibular disorder which lasted 2 months.
It started when I switched to mirtazapine. It's constant, when I stand, walk etc everything spins and I feel I'm being pulled to the our, worse at night time or anywhere dark. GP examined me and suggested it was vertigo but not sure if it's connected to meds or an ear infection etc...
My blood pressure was taken by the gp and normal....
Making me very disorientated and sick..
Im not sleeping more then 1-2 hours a night at present so that doesn't help....
I just hope it's one of those coincidental problems as opposed to the medication.

I must admit I slept mire on 15mg but had awful dreams but the insomnia now is a real pain...
I just feel this medication is not doing me many favours ALTHOUGH I seem to be having less panic attacks at the moment.
I did wonder what the next option was if Martians Sertraline haven't worked....
Good luck to you, I hope you find a suitable option x
