hi

I have just started mirtazapine at 15mg, read all about it via remedy find and crazymeds.org etc so i know all about the side effects of appetite and its affect on making u sleep and that to move up from 15 to 30mg makes it less drowsy but the effect i am getting off it after a wk on it is that i feel 'hard to explain' dizzy is the best word for it and as if my head is in cotton wool and everything is slightly numb like I am on a doping medecine to numb my eyesight hearing sense of touch my fingers when i am typing etc, its literally like i am doped up on something etc plus my blood pressure is thru the roof

absolutely great for anxiety, its killed my anxiety totally off at the trade off of killing everything else off, only thing i am worried about now is that i feel totally numb

went to see my gp today and he took absolutely no notice but to look at me as if 'oh no not again'

i am just about thru with medication -

has anyone else ended up with this numb feeling cos this is a physical effect and its damned unpleasant and i hope it either wears off as i take the med more or that it goes away if i stop it cos it feels like someone has interfered with my actual nervous system
