Question 7

I'm in anxiety disorder .. smtimes i feel like cold sensation in my skin w/o any reason .. is this cause by my anxiety ? or effect of mirtazapine?

Accepted Answer

mirtazapine aka Remeron increases norepinephrine and serotonin to drive off depression plus it can cause drowsiness/ appetite gain effects due to antihistamine effects. It's the norepinephrine effect that could cause coldness due constriction of small blood vessels at the periphery eg skin and hence the sensation of cold. But the very  same way is how anxiety can do this too. Talk to your doc further eg if it's Remeron, it would be dependent on the dose level and any sensitivity to the  medication u may  have.

Question 9

Tapered off remeron (mirtazapine) after 6 months use. feet and hands are cold and sweaty. feeling uneasy and mild anxiety. anything i can do?

Accepted Answer

...For remeron, (mirtazapine) and dosage. At this point, your symptoms are unlikely to be due to the Remeron (mirtazapine) use or taper. If it was being used to help with anxious depression, it can be replaced. But that's jumping ahead a bit. The first question is why were you on it? Having clammy hands or feet goes hand in glove (bad pun, i know) with anxiety. Psychotherapy can help and med are best used with it, not alone.
