Hi Sal,
-Most of those side effects wore off after the 1st 2 weeks, but after reading previous posts on Remeron, I noticed a resemblance in some things that I experienced, that others seemed to experience, too.
-I was just trying to get some more information from people who had been on it for awhile. I saw on another board that someone had experienced some carpal tunnel effects, and was wondering if anyone here had the same problem.
-Thank you for your reply.> Damn, that's a lot of side-effects. It doesn't sound like you're able to tolerate that medicine, which is too bad because it seems to help a lot of people. Although, clinical lore suggests that mirtazapine's side-effects wane at higher doses (45 mg).

> > -I want to go off this med. - I'm tired of feeling like this, but word is not to do it without your doctor's advice. My therapist won't listen to me about it.
> > -I had extreme sweating, frequent urination, increase in appetite, but no weight gain (on it for 3 wks now, at 30mg). I did experience a sore mouth, and had nightmares, too.
> > Now, I seem to have a medication headache, does anyone else get these with this med. ?
