While on Mirtazapine my partner has rage and wants to kill
Posted , 3 users are following.
My partner partner has been on Mirtazapine a couple of times and each time he becomes a very easily agitated person. But blames everyone else. He will be so very angry about even having to step slightly to one side to walk past each other. He clenches is fist in anger often. He shoves me with his fist. He tells me he will kill his neighbour and he will sit out the front waiting to be provoked. Recently he mumbled in his half asleep state about killing me and having to deal with my body. He hates me again and won't see me now, which I just to accept. I know there's a nice genuine person under it all. But I am too frightened to persist with him anymore. I think these meds are hard wiring him into too much of a mess and there's just no turning back. He mixes his meds with heavy alcohol abuse and has dementia too. I'm so sad that he is lost and I can't do anything about it. He's so angry with so many people, including me, that I'm not authorised to talk with his doctor anymore. He was a different person on other meds, but he is frightening on Mirtazapine. When I did previously speak with his doctors with him, he told his doctors that other people where aggressive towards him and that's why he's so angry, his Psych doesn't believe that it's the other way around. He's the one that upsets and is nasty to those around him. But it's just gone too far. I don't believe I'm safe anymore and he won't believe that Mertazapine is the problem. He is adamant it's everyone around him that's the problem. I have lost him...

my heart goes out to you. This happened to me on mirtazipine in the first few weeks of taking it. I cannot up my dose as the rage will instantly appear. I have always been placid so this side effect was extremely alarming. His psychiatrist should have looked I to this side effect. A simple on line search eg. Mirtazipine/rage would have given him a factual insight.
That being said, I am worried about you and your safety. I think it may be wise to distance yourself from him as it is clear that he is hanging on to a lot of anger whichcan and is placing you in a dangerous position. He needs to get an urgent meds review as he clearly isn't functioning very well at the moment. The alcohol on top is like adding the match to the fire.
I am sure he is a lovely chap when he is well, but you cannot hang on to that feeling right now. Please don't remain somewhere where you feel unsafe. Can you speak freely and in confidence to any of his family members? Maybe they can convince him to get help.
In the meantime please don't remain in this situation.
God bless ♥
