Re: Does Anybody Have diarrhoea as a side effect of mirtazapine please?
Okay, diarrhea is a common side-effect of mirtazapine treatment due to its effects on neurotransmitters which effect the GI tract and colon, particularly serotonin. It most often but not always subsides with continued treatment.
If you experience symptoms for more than a week, then contact your doctor. It's always important to monitor diarrhea because if severe enough, it can result in dehydration and electrolyte imbalance which can cause problems rather abruptly in certain instances.
Discuss alternatives with your doctor if you continue experiencing side-effects. Other equally effective agents are available.
