Irritable and Angry

I started taking Mirtazapine about a month ago. Everytime i take it my head feels foggy ( not sure how else to explain it ) it also makes me very irritable and angry. anyone have any problems like this ?

Defiantly, was originally prescribed 15mg but experienced what you are describing. Doctor said to take half (7.5 mg) much better now. That was about a month ago. Feel better, lots of energy and sleeping well.

Re irritability can totally relate to this. I have to be conscious of my moods. Sometimes I see red and loose it. It is a side effect. Deep breath and count to ten. Its not worth it - let it pass. Good luck and hope you start feeling better x

Hi I felt the same so reduced it to 7.5mg then to every other night, I felt irritability at first but this passes. The drug does help particularly with sleeping. It certainly helped me feel more in control.  Good luck 

 

Yes! ...

Add emotional + incessant negative thinking and overwhelming gloomy thoughts...

Much Peace!

Unfortuantly it does not help me with sleep, i just feel very groggy in the morning which dosen't help with the irritability or anger. im currently on 7.5 maybe i will try it everyother night.

Ever considered PROPANANOL? ...for me I chose to come off ADs/Mirtazapine as I felt it was making me worse with little or no noticeable positive benefits.

Instead I use Propananol which as far as meds go ...I sense/feel a positive benefit in taking. Also I don't seem to experience any complications or negatives in taking.

Note though ...Mirtazapine can be a hard drug to come off ...with many challenging withdrawal symptoms being reported by a number of members on here.

Above are just my humble thoughts ..ultimately you and your GP/Doctor will decide what's best for you.

Best wishes and much peace!

I will ask my doctor about Propananaol. as for comming off it i have no problem it's been 4 days since i have taken it. i also felt that it has been worse for me and seen no real positive changes. Doctors appointment in a few days so i will see what they think.

That makes sense ...thanks for reply!

Wishing you a more peaceful and settled day tomorrow!

Stay strong!
