> Mirtazapine can cause restlessness. This is mainly a problem at high doses, low doses don't usually cause this side effect. Restless legs are particularly common.> Mirtazapine is thought to cause restlessness by acting as an alpha-2 antagonist. It might be a good idea to reduce your mirtazapine dose and try a different strategy to treat your depression.

Hi Ed,The main problem with this, is that this treatment strategy is the different one. I talked to my doctor a few days ago and we agreed to try 45mg at least two weeks, because one can't do an evaluation.. you know the story. So basically, i'm stuck with this for another week, then it's time to do a change, if not before.
I think she might suggest 60mg but that is not going to happen. I've been on remeron for seven years and i think our relationship is over soon, if my depression doesn't lift within this week.
It's kinda sad, because i like remeron when it works, id est, no side effects to mention.That's why i became interested in aurorix.
