Mirtazapine and trouble concentrating side effect?

Posted by divinewisdom28 @divinewisdom28, Feb 10, 2023

Hi,

I have been on 45mg mirtazapine (remron) remeron for the past few months for anxiety. I know at the higher doses it's not sedating. I don't necessarily feel tired, however I've been having a lot of trouble with concentration and I'm always confused when people are asking me to do something, like it doesn't process through my brain. I'm only 28 years old.
Today i felt like i was going to faint. I try sometimes so hard to concentrate that i get tension head aches now. It's like my brain is constipated when i am trying to formulate sentences or thoughts.

Not to get off track, but I've also been using the Fisher Wallace Stimulator for a month and a half now. Apart from these 2 treatments, I don't know what could be wrong.

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced these side effects on this medication or if this is even a commonly reported side effect, especially at this dose?

Thank you,

John
