Maybe your eyes hurt bc of the mirtazapine? People with diabetes can't take mirtazapine ?

I don't have diabetes but someone on here was on mirtazapine but had to give it up bc they had diabetes

Maybe your symptoms are from mirtazapine is what I am trying to say , if you come off it you must taper very gradually

Yh but i started taking it like 8 months ago n the headaches started like 6 weeks ago is there a possibility that if it was a side effect from the mirtazapine that it could start so long after me taking it or do you think that i would of gotten the headaches a week or so after i first started taking it

Everyone reacts differently I would try to come off it if I was you through the help of your GP

bc I have read of some people having terrible withdrawal so it is better to see if you can withdraw at this stage rather than after being on it for 2 years ,

Also it may be making your eyes hurt ?

Don't worry or panic just go see your GP
