Restless on Mirtazapine

[Boostar80]

I have been on Mirtazapine for 2 mo now but was just bumped up to 30mg at bedtime from 15mg for my anxiety. Before I noticed no restlessness and now I am noticing it sporadically especially soon after taking it and then in the hours before taking it again. Anybody else experiencing similar? Does splitting dose help? Is this akathasia?

I'm in the same boat as you, since upping to 30mg have had the same side effect. It got so bad I wasn't sleeping so have had to drop back to the 15mg again.

Haven't had any other side effects with this med but I don't feel the 15mg is doing much to help and was hoping upping to 30 would make a difference...oh well back to the drawing board.
To be honest never thought about taking 15mg plus another half. If you try it let me know how you get on.
