Even though Mirtazapine is believed to be a mild anti-depressant when it comes to cases of side effects, some of its side effects might not be well-tolerate. Drowsiness, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, constipation, nightmares, enhanced sexual desires, an increase in appetite resulting into weight gain, malaise ( persistent feelings of general discomfort or not being well), dry mouth, etc are some of the common side effects associated with Mirtazapine.
Pregnant women should try to avoid Mirtazapine. Some of the rare side effects that might be encountered as a result of Mirtazapine consumption include muscle weakness, rapid heart-beats, low count of blood cells, increasing levels of cholesterol, tremor, chest pain, water retention, etc. In some cases, however, these side effects might be severe and life-threatening, and may include, seizures, edema, convulsions, allergic reactions, bone marrow suppression, syncope (fainting) etc.
An exacerbation of suicidal tendencies, or worsening of anxiety might also be experienced in several cases, especially during the initial phase of treatment, but it recommended that the patient does not discontinue the medications. In addition, other side effects may vary from hyperthermia (increased unregulated body temperature), sexual dysfunction, diarrhea, pupil dilation, increased perspiration and ineffective myeloid blood cell production.
