Taken my 2nd tablet of 15mg and after feeling really tired/out of it, feel shaky and very weak, is this normal and will it subside?
A lot of people mention feeling this way and saying it settles after a little while.
Thank you so much for that....im going to stick with it, just not a nice feeling at first!
I know what you mean....I was worried driving on it and I had a bizarre day at work where I felt like I was in a waking dream state....I actually slept to begin with! It gets better with time - well that's my experience- I'm on week 4
Yes...feel very out of it, the weakness/shakiness scares me a little but Ill stick with it. Thank you for support anyway x Have severe anxiety which makes me feel very bad...so want to stick with it need to feel better! x
Sounds like ME talking! At least try a few weeks if you can - so you can honestly say you gave it a fair shot and you won't always be wondering- I've read a lot of people commenting so positively about it and I've been so hopeful that maybe it could help me, even though I've felt so crap that I didn't think anything could really help me ....I'm still up and down but not ALWAYS down like I was - that's something ....I hope...
Your right.....ive got to at least give it a shot...and I will x
Yes stick with it, I have been on 15g for ten days now and feel an improvement, slight, but definitely better
Happy for you Mark
Please stick with. A lot of people are put off because the first few days of Mirtazapine can be difficult for some with the drowsiness and tiredness but I promise you it goes away. Once you've got out of the tiredness and zombie feeling..there are literally hardly any side effects for the majority of people. A few days of being a zombie is worth it for the outcome 
Mirtazapine has served me well so far.. I'm on 45mg but started on 30mg. The tiredness went for me about 3-5days after starting
I agree with Rachael
It's taken quite a while for me to get the right dose and start to get better. The thing is, I had a lot of trouble with understanding that it was a gradual change. I expected to feel better in a few weeks. I stayed at 30mg for 10weeks before deciding that although I had improved...I needed a bit extra and it's been much better since! Prepare yourself for a few setbacks, but setbacks don't mean you're going backwards...eventually you have more and more good days
I just hope my story turns out as well 😊
I'm sure it will....it's just a lot of patience and reassurance that is needed along the way. I really had trouble accepting that I'm going to feel a bit up and down for a while, but it does even out eventually. Touch wood, I'm in remission now. I will admit, patience is probably one of the hardest things for an anxiety sufferer to have! lol
It's almost impossible to see light at the end of the tunnel when depression clouds your judgement
Thanks nuffy. The people on here are very supportive and have good advice. Patience us not my strong point either Rachael, and maybe I was looking or hoping for more than what I have got, but it has only been ten days and 15g, but yes it is better
This anonymous way of reaching out and hearing from other people and their experience is really valuable.
I know nuffy, but trust me, it does and can get better. It's not an overnight thing. I'm a generalised anxiety sufferer but because it was my first episode...I then suffered from depression from dealing with the anxiety if that makes sense. The depression lifted before my anxiety on Mirtazapine, it's the anxiety that's been the pain in the bum for me... I've found forcing myself out and arranging to meet up with people has really helped alongside...I know it's easy to say 'it helps' but once you force yourself, in my opinion it does help. I hope mirtazapine works well for you both in the next few weeks..any improvement is good..you just need time
Thanks Rachael.
Well after taking my 3rd 15mg Mirt tablet, I have woke up with nausia, vomited, got diorreah also which sent me panicking. Looked on the leaflet for the tablets and it does state that these are common side effects so made me feel a little better...horrible to go through though, hope it subsides! Did anyone else have the same??
