This might seem like an odd one ... but here goes!
I stopped taking Mirtazapine last October. About six weeks later I started to experience itchy skin, mostly along collar bone, tops of arms and sometimes elsewhere on body. It drives me mad at times ... and interferes with sleep. It starts to occur late in the evening and the only thing that helps is if I take an antihistamine.

I am trying to figure out if the mirt has caused this. It is known to have a very strong antihistamine effect and I am wondering if this has caused some sort of hypersensitivity reaction now that I no longer take it (was on it for approx. 1 year). I did read on another website of someone who is experiencing itching 8 months post mirtazapine withdrawal!!

Now, I have to add that it may not be the mirt which is causing this, I am just trying to eliminate it as a possibility. Has anyone else had this reaction? I'd be really glad to hear from you if you have. Or does anyone have any information on this at all?

Thanks.
