Mirtazapine & Vertigo

[Soul2soul]

New on here; been taking mirtazapine 15mg at night before bed. First week started taking 7.5mg then progress to 15mg. Noticed the sedation, dry throat and increased appetite which I can handle. However, it’s been just over 2 weeks on 15mg and been experiencing vertigo like I’ve just come off a boat when moving about. Does this side effect get better and do I need to give it more time to regulate please. Any advice would be most appreciated since it’s reduced my anxiety.

I would see your doctor.

Hi...

If the vertigo is manageable, I would suggest giving the med some time. Our body needs some time to get adjusted to the new medicines. the time it takes vary with person to person.

But, if the vertigo is non-manageable, then I would suggest to talk to your Doc once.
