Mirtazapine

[moviegoer]

Anyone else dealing with the side effects from Mirtazapine

[Ellamaye]

Extreme hunger?

[moviegoer in reply to Ellamaye]

Yes! Also very sleepy with tremors

[Ellamaye in reply to moviegoer]

Tremors? I didn't experience that . I did welcome the sleepiness as struggle in that department. Has your doctor told you to take at night? I started on 15mg now on 30mg. But always at night

[moviegoer in reply to Ellamaye]

Yes I’m using 7.5 at night but ended up sleeping through out the day. The medicine just seems too strong

[Ellamaye in reply to moviegoer]

Every new medication will have an adjustment period but I'm surprised the effects on you are so strong. When I looked up mirtazapine the information was if given as a sleep aid a lower dose like 7.5 would be given and a higher dose would be for depression as for some reason the drowsiness is caused by a lower rather than higher dose. Maybe the doctor has started you on too low a dose? I can only share my experience with the medication though but I think you should definitely go back to the doctor with your side effects. They don't always get it right and if it's ruining your daytime then maybe it doesn't suite you. Sertraline didn't suite me but other people find it effective 😬

[moviegoer in reply to Ellamaye]

Yeah I plan on going back to the doctor and asking for something else 🙂

I had all of these the worst the fluid retention and extreme hunger! And I still get the tremors even on sertraline x

[Ellamaye]

I hope you find what suites your needs . Mirtazapine has helped me but obviously not suited to everyone x

But being rolled out for anxiety now it does help

[Tigglypoo]

Constantly hungry on mitazpine just gone up to 30mg I sleep well not sure it helps with anxiety I keep going see how it goes hate medication.Not too many side effects but it's not the best tablet. Good look let us know how you get on xx

After taking 15mg my heart rate slows down considerably when falling to sleep - so much so that it skips a beat and that triggers bad night horror attacks. On one ocassion I propelled myself out of bed and bounced off a chest of drawers. Use with caution.
