Mirtazapine - Experiences?

I have just started taking them and feel different - the headaches in the morning (niggly and not that bad but I have a high pain threshold) amongst other things.

Anyone have any other symptoms?

    Thanks for the replies, it helped to know some of the side effects.

    After discussion with my GP, I stopped taking them and have been coping with the "cold turkey".  I went into complete recluse mode whereby I shut the whole world out.

    What did it for me was the "drunk" loss of concentration when driving (either keep on them and stop driving or stop them and start a routine to migrate to another drug), headaches in the morning and the total confusion (day of the week).

    You can take venlafaxine whilst also taking mirtazapine. If the mirtazapine wasn’t for you, maybe you could lessen the withdrawal effect with venlafaxine.

    I was on 45mg mirtazapine and 375mg venlafaxine for 9 months. I would recommend a smaller dose though. I just take 75mg venlafaxine now, and it is about right for me at the moment.

    I’m not a medical professional, so this is just from experience.
