That sounds really disturbing : /

One thing to do if you're wondering about a medication is to visit the National Library of Medicine's site on medication information!. The NLM is an unbiased site that provides excellent medical information!. The first thing that jumps out about Mirtazapine is the warning of its potential harmful side effects in young people!. Please follow the link below to read that!. You can visit this site whenever you're wondering about medications!.

Anything involving hallucinations that hasn't happened before probably warrants an immediate call to the doctor!. Some hallucinations can be tolerated but they can also quickly become very disturbing and dangerous if you feel compelled to take action!.

Also, remember that there are other drugs out there!. Perhaps this one is not the best for you!.

At some point you might want to also consider seeking support from other people who have mental illness!. I have bipolar disorder and work with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)!. They may have a chapter near you!.

could just be side effects u can call the doctor that gave u the meds on the phone and tell her or him and she what the doc saysWww@Answer-Health@Com

Definitely discuss these symptoms with your doctor!. They could be side effects of the drug!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

side effects, contact your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

mirtazapine is a mood stabiliser!.!.!.!.weird you have mentioned this i am also on mirtazapine, and have had the same as you a few times, like i expect someone to be there go look and there not, and sense someone is in another room, in reality there not!.

not sure if this a side affect of the meds or not, but something worth investigating, talk to you doctor and see what they say!.!.

i will defiantly be mentioning it myself on my next appointment cause it is kinda freaky!.

by the way i have ocd and bipolar, and that fills me with false beliefs/sensations when I'm under the weather!.

also get councelling , see a psychologist or phyciatrist, especially about the meds, it might be a case that this one isnt for you!.
