Does mirtazapine cause itching all over the body?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe (not): Any drug can cause just about any side effect. Common ones are itching, rash & nausea/vomiting. While info re Mirtazapine includes various skin reactions, there's no specific mention of total body itch in either of two readily available references.

Occasionally: Interestingly, Mirtazapine is sometimes given to treat itching, but itching is also a possible (though uncommon) side effect. Occasionally this could be a sign of a serious allergic reaction. The only way to see if the itching is caused by it would be to stop it and restart it if the itching goes away, but i advise you discuss this with the doctor who prescribed it as soon as possible.
