Thank you for welcoming me! I was prescribed Mirtazapine by my psychiatrist who I have been seeing for several years. I suffer from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) , Panic Disorder (PD) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
I was first diagnosed with MDD and PD in 1996 and was prescribed Zoloft (generic Sertraline). The Zoloft worked well until approximately 1.5 to 2 years ago when I, apparently, developed a tolerance to it and it “pooped out” on me. Since then, my psychiatrist and I have tried Prozac, Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Pristiq, Trintellix, and Citalopram (brand name Celexa). They either didn’t work or I couldn’t tolerate the side effects. I am now on Mirtazapine which I started, at 15 mg, on June 13, 2023, and titrated to 22.5 mg on July 5th, and, then, 30 mg, on July 23rd. Since increasing to 30 mg, I have been experiencing jitteriness and wondered if anyone else has experienced it at this dose (30 mg) and, if so, approximately how long did the jitteriness last? I have a follow-up appointment with my psychiatrist in 3 weeks, but, in the meantime, to help me cope and have a better understanding, I was hoping to find someone who would be willing to share their experience.
