I am writing for my wife. Her Doctor took her off 15 MG Mirtazapine and now she gets an upset stomach and throws up. It has happened 5 times now and one time twice in one day. Also it doesn't seem to make a difference what kind of food she eats. I am wanting to know if this is a side effects of stopping the medicine? She had been off of it for a week before she started throwing up.

I take 15mg Mirtazaprine in combination w/10mg Lisinopril. Frequent urination causes sleep interruption at least 5-6x nitely, then it takes awhile before I can fall back to sleep. Diarrhea is frequent in the morning. Since taking these, I get out of breath just walking 4-5 steps; my bones have been aching, ESP during the nite, and to the point of restless tossing and turning.

Diarrhea is frequent in the morning. Since taking these, I get out of breath just walking 4-5 steps; my bones have been aching, ESP during the nite, and to the point of restless tossing and turning. I feel extremely weak, thinking I'm going to lose coordination. Climbing upstairs has become a burden. Since on these meds (one month), I have no energy doing the simplest of tasks. Prior to this, I had lots of energy, almost to the point of being unstoppable.

I've been taking the 30mg tablets for maybe 8 months now and they do what they're supposed to. I found it took a week or two to start getting used to them. They help with sleep maybe too much. They force me to sleep about 8 hours even through a couple alarm clocks going off by my head for a couple hours.

I've been taking the 30mg tablets for maybe 8 months now and they do what they're supposed to. I found it took a week or two to start getting used to them. They help with sleep maybe too much. They force me to sleep about 8 hours even through a couple alarm clocks going off by my head for a couple hours. I've stopped taking them before because of this and was fine for a couple days but found the littlest thing would set me off so I started taking a half a night for a couple nights and back to the full 30mg. I've been off them again now for about a week and the first couple days weren't bad but I'm finding now that the daily thoughts of suicide are coming back so I think tonight I'll start taking them again. I strongly recommend not trying to take yourself off of these pills without your docs approval. He said it usually takes 9 months to cure depression but I think it may take a bit longer so be patient. Try getting to bed at least 8 hours before you're supposed to be up. They take maybe about a half hour to an hour to start working but make sure you don't have to do anything after you've taken them because they knock me right out cold. I've found that they do increase your appetite and you may gain a few pounds but chances are you'll lose it pretty fast after your treatment. Just being off of them for a week I've found that I'm not as hungry and probably have lost 2 or 3 pounds but losing the few pounds isn't worth taking the chance of worsening your depression. Hope this helps but please for the sake of yourself and the people in your life, don't stop taking them until your doctor thinks you're ready to.

I'm going to be honest, if you take Mirtazapine, NO FOOD IS SAFE! It really works well as an antidepressant, and is good for my Anxiety also, but i have never loved food so much, even the stuff i used to hate :(
