I don't know if what i'm feeling is to do with side-effects due to upping dose from 15 to 30mg - in a way i hope it is.

I think it was 3 weeks ago when i started on the higher dose, and in the last week i've been feeling light-headed, more anxious and more depressed. I was verging on suicidal last night.

Has anyone else experienced this type of thing while on Mirtazapine?

I've been looking at the leaflet in the box. I hadn't noticed this before but it says:

QUOTE
Thoughts of suicide and worsening of your depression or anxiety disorder
Patiens who are depressed and/or have anxiety disorders can sometimes have thoughts of harming themselves
or killling themselves. These thoughts may be increased when first starting anti-depressants, as these
medicines all take time to work, usually about 2 weeks but somtimes longer


I wonder why the AD does this ermm.gif

I noticed more so with SSRI's that anxiety can get worse before it gets better. (a few weeks) It feels colloquially like the angst monster puts up a fight before it gets put to sleep.
