I'm on 45mg of mirtrazapine, and I was given this medication to help with all the symptoms you are getting at the moment, unfortunately my health problems were caused through drinking alcohol, and I have nerve damage from the heavy sessions of drinking, I've had issues with B12 deficiency, and they cause similar problems that are similar to the neuropathy i have,the side effects from alcohol but have the same symptoms, I don't drink anymore, but I'm sure the buzzing could be tinnitus in your ears, as for your other symptoms I rely on the medication to keep the majority of my ailments away, except the burning sensations in my feet, constant pins and needles etc, these pains come in different guises, and obviously we all try to explain symptoms differently, i would speak to your doctor perhaps and explain your concerns, best of luck!!😇

Mirtazapine is known to be a difficult drug to withdraw from there are mirtazapine withdrawal forums with many horrendous personal stories Make sure you are eating well and looking after yourself you will eventually be ok but it will take time maybe a long time
