What causes bad temper after taking Mirtazapine?
Patient: Hi I have recently started taking Mirtazapine for clinical depression and i have noticed that after just over 2 weeks of taking 15mg a day that i am very angry and quick to lose my temper. I am normally a calm person who rarely loses their temper. Could the Mirtazapine be causing this? Doctor: Hello,  Yes, I think Mirtazapine is the cause of the angry. Mirtazapine like all the drugs have side effects and some of them are: worsening depression, disturbance in thinking, confusion etc. I think you should take an appointment with your doctor to evaluate your condition and maybe to change the therapy.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Ajeet Singh, General & Family Physician
