Do you take anything and how long have you suffered with it ?

[Amandasullivan12]

I take mirtazapine ive suffered for many years mines more health related so like for rhe past few weeks ive been getting headaches and my eyes hurt so its making my anxiety realy bad at the minute thinking im seriosly ill with brain tumor or something just as serious.the medication im taking does help n helps with sleep n eating ive tryed others in the past but they made me feel awful .ive cbt therapy that helped a lil

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

Do you have diabetes? Ive been on it about 8 months now so i dont know if it start to have side affects after that long but it is a possibility it does say on side affects it can cause headaches but would that of happened when i first started taking it.do you know what causes your anxiety?

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
