My experience with Mirtazapine was bizarre and life-threatening. I had the most intense, ugly, violent, bizarre dreams by night and by day was the most suicidal I had felt in years. It had been prescribed by my GP.
To exacerbate the problem they were not available when I needed them most.

You sound exactly like me when taking Mirtazapine, I not only had everything from anxiety, restlessness in my legs and it didn’t help me sleep but when I did my dreams turned into nightmares like something out of a horror movie…to top it off my doctor who prescribed it for me was unavailable to the reach, eventually I just started tapering myself off weekly until I was done. I don’t want to put down a medication because even if I didn’t feel well from it I realize that for others it works well, the only good thing I got from the med was a well needed appetite.
