Mirtazepine and joint pain ? and stopping working .
 

I've recntly started taking Mirtezapine at a higher dose ( 30mg ) and have been getting joint pain in my right hand/wrist ,has anyone else had this side effect?, also the Mirtazepine seems to have stopped working afer my depression picked up for about 4 weeks I'm back down again , really low . But I'm hoping its just a blip and it will pick up again soon ( Tommorow Please ) so don't want to go off it just yet .

I'm also on Duloxetine , Olanzapine , Buspirone , Diazepam for Depression and all and wondered if that could be relevant .

Hope this makes sense .
Doikers .

Mirtazapine unfortunately has a habit of stopping working suddenly.

I was on 15mg and for nine months it worked wonders, and one day just stopped. It was upped to 30mg then 45mg and still nothing. I had to come off it in the end.

Dont know about the joint pain though.

HI

I had joint pains through my duloxetine ,

jill

I was on 45mg. I had inexplicable joint pain in my right hip. I had it investigated but everything came back fine. Never occurred to me it could have been the Mirtaz. I'm not on it anymore (couldn't cope with the weight gain) though.

I didn't experience any joint pain when I was on Mirtazapine, and I don't remember it working well for me at all. It would be a good idea to talk to the person who prescribed it. Take care.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Hi I've been on mirtazapine for three years it has worked really well. I tried coming off it thinking it was doing nothing but had to go back on it because it obviously was making a big difference. I had pain initially but it wore off. I'm scared to come off it now because I think my mood will drop too low. There is another drug which is similar but I can't remember the name of it the GP would know it begins with an s. Sorry that was probably not much help!
