I was on mirtazapine 15mg with no real problems, just sleepiness, which was ok. Then I went up to 30mg and within a few days I felt awful and now I'm in a constant panic (which I'm attempting to treat with diazapam). I've read of one other person who experienced panic attacks when going up to 30mg of mirtazapine but it doesn't seem a usual side effect.

I stopped taking mirtazapine dead when I couldn't cope with the panic anymore, unfortunately it's not stopped the panic and I'm still really struggling through the days.

Of course, being under the NHS, I can't see my shrink until friday (at the earliest!) so I just had to make the decision for myself.
