Mirtazipine

I've been taking 15mg of Mirtazipine for about 8-9 months. No real issues with it. Recently I asked if I could increase the dosage as I was feeling extra anxious. The GP agreed and I've been on 30mg for the past month. I don't know whether its a coincidence but ever since upping my dose I've had chronic IBS but thought it was down to other things. I'm now convinced it's the higher dosage messing with my gut. It's really getting me down as it's painful and debilitating and I feel like I want to reduce the dose again. Has anyone experienced gut or digestive disturbances with Mirtazipine?

I might be going on it if fluoxetine doesn't work and my ibs has been bad. I hope you feel better soon x

Hi, I have started to take Mirtazapine 30mg due to health anxiety that developed into depression. I think depression did went away although still got anxiety. My anxiety mainly is connected to the symptoms I am experiencing in my body. I don’t really remember if Some of my symptoms have developed after I have started to take the pills or before. For example I have started to have burning lips on and off as well as goose bumps feeling sensation on the top of my head- can’t really remember if they appeared before or after I have started to take Mirtazapine. Have been taking the pills for 2 months now and I think I have started to be hypersensitive and feel almost everything what happens to my body-like stinging, burning sensations in front of my ribs and at the whole upper back, shoulders. I feel it’s like never ending circle, there are moments when I do not feel symptoms or feel them less and then I am like a new, different person with full of energy and happiness, however when those are back I am feeling hopeless again. Has anyone experienced something like that while beeing on pills? Thank you
