Hi guys, ok so my doctor has put me on 30mg Mirtazapine due to my Health Anxiety raging out of control. I've been on it just over a week but I'm having some unpleasant side effects. Firstly the good point - it's really helping me sleep at night as they knock you out good style. But the side effects are stressing me out, I've got a dry mouth a lot of the time, my mouth is quite sore and i wake up in the morning with this horrible white coating around parts of my mouth like dead skin (sorry not nice i know), but the main change I've noticed is my throat feels tender and it's like there is something stuck in my throat or something and sometimes I find it quite difficult to swallow properly.
I'm still eating food and digesting it OK its not like my throat is blocked or anything its just this horrible feeling of something being stuck there and its making me feel nauseous. I'm also having worse than usual indigestion.
Has anyone here ever taken or are currently taking Mirtazapine? I really need to know if these side effects will go away, or does anyone think I should stop taking them? I've done a bit of online research into the side effects and a sore mouth and difficulty swallowing are both mentioned, but I'm not sure how seriously I should be taking these side effects.
I'd really appreciate any info guys. Thanks.
