I will probably be starting Mirtazapine next week and wondered if it has helped anyone with the physical symptoms of anxiety or depression. Does it help anyone with pain relief at all ?
sorry to say it didn't help me I was on them for about 3 month and found the side affects were worse than the symptoms.but everyone is different.they did help me sleep. ive got bad arthritis in my knees but they didn't do anything for the pain.but they could work for you.
Hi Dave. Thanks for your comment. Hope you've managed to get some relief since.
Hi, I have been on them for 6 weeks at 30mg and as well as helping with sleep they have helped with anxiety too. A lot of people suffer with sedation and increased appetite however, despite being sensitive to medication, I have not suffered any side effects on mirtazapine. They have not helped with my depression though however I have quite severe depression. You may find that your anxiety heightens a little for a few days when you start taking them but this does calm down again. I really hope you. Take care
*i really hope you get on well with them!
Hi Gen. Many thanks for your comment. I'm currently already on citalopram, but that doesn't seem to be helping at the moment. Fingers crossed that Mirtazapine will help. My depression is pretty bad too. I hope that something helps you soon. All the best.

Unfortunately I'm haivng an allergic reaction to this drug so coming off it under the advise of my pharmasist (& of course common sense). It does help you sleep though!
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully my sleep will improve if anything.
It helps me. Xxx
That's great ! 😀
