It didn't resolve even when I started cutting the pills in half...only taking 3.25mg....pain persisted, so I quit taking it. And now my legs are fine. I' wasn't gonna let a medication (mirtazapine) ruin my legs!

O my goodness, leg pain even at 3.25 mg.!
I was on this medication @ 30 mg. for (believe it or not) 21 years and never had leg pain.
But I did see leg pain as an uncommon side effect. And you were one of the unlucky ones.
This medication, at the time, was a life saver for me. But after the length of time on it gradually became less effective in controlling my panic disorder. Really not a surprise.
It just re-enforces to me how medications can affect everyone so differently and we must take others experiences, with the same medication(s), with a grain of salt.
Consider yourself fortunate that you were able to pinpoint the culprit of your leg pain. Sometimes this is not such an easy thing to do...
Great news your legs are fine now!
