Withdrawal restlessness?

Recommended Posts

Why do I feel like I constantly have to be doing something? Is this what is called restlessness ? I've cleaned the house and still can't sit down for 5 munitis !! Will this pass with time ? Thanks all!! 

 

Edit: I also have songs constantly going over and over in my head , has anyone experianced that ? 

Unsure of dates to be honest 
but i was on 15mg mirtazapine for 4 weeks.
then went onto 30mg mirtazapine  for 3 days.
i stopped taking altogether for 3 days after the 3 days of 30mg.
read to go back on 15mg mirtazapine for 7 days to stabilize.
then onto 7.5mg mirtazapine for 7 days.
then onto 3.5mg mirtazapine for 7 days.

Yep, I’ve experienced the restlessness and it did pass.

 

I get the song looping as well, that’s been going on for a while, some days it’s better than others.

I never got on too well with it from the start, then when I up dosed back to 15 mg it got worse. 
 

Things do seem to be calming down slightly but no where near as quickly as I’d like.
