Mirtazapine and aching joints

[Chloeblue]

So I started taking Mirtazapine earlier this year for anxiety. While it's definitely helping with the anxiety and sleep, I find my body is aching in different places now that it didn't before. I don't know if this is coincidental or related to the medication. It seemed to start soon after commencing on it. Has anyone experienced similar?

I’m on 30mg up from 15mg for anxiety and sleep issues as I’m not a lot of hours per night, and with 15 I could barely move just felt so tired, come 2pm it was like i was wading in mud (even though I had great sleep) now on 30 and I’m completely tired by 9pm and have an hours nap before pill at 10pm then off to bed at 10.30pm.
I don’t wade in mud at 2pm like before.
It’s swings and roundabout 15mg half dead at 2pm not good at work!
Or nap at 9pm because I cannot stay awake but can’t got to bed at 9pm as I share a room with my DC and they’re not sleep at 9!! Mores the pity

I had similar. Slept well on it and anxiety under control but it caused athralgia fingers would be stiff after a snap, this took longer and longer to resolve itself then eventually could barely hold a tin opener or lift a handbrake. Knees elbows etc got stiff by too eventually. It got worse the longer I was on it.

I get this. Glad its just the drugs. Currently on 30mg a day but its been upped to 45mg. See how that goes
