mirrormirror: mirtazapine help

[mirrormirror]

i have started taking a really low dose of mirtazapine a few days ago but almost immediately started feeling a lot of terrible side effects: depersonalization, irritability/anger which turned into violence/self harm, really depresed, suicidal, insomnia, etc

has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hi mirrormirror , welcome to the site.

 

This is very very bad - it's a severe adverse reaction. Your central nervous system is not able

to metabolize this drug , and the symptoms you're having are signs of toxicity.

 

Please stop taking it immediately. The symptoms should settle over the next week or two.

 

Best wishes , Fresh
