Is it true that mirtazapine can give false positive results for benzos?? I'm in pain management and due to this false positive I will not be allowed pain management etc..any help would be greatly appreciated. ## No they are antidepressant,s no benzodiazepines in its make up so I think you will be fine I tink ppl are going a bit overboard was probably a bad batch,ive never gave a false positive and im taking zispin it's 16years now that is the real one not generic ones, ## I know for absolute sure I haven't taken any benzos!! When I went to doc today I showed positive for benzos and they sent it to the lab.So when they get it back they will see it was only remeron!! But the doc said it will cause a false positive. So b careful!!

I've been prescribed for insomnia but it makes me feel happy and ready to move. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? No, it is not. The FDA classifies it as an antidepressant that is used to treat major depressive disorder. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I was wondering if Mirtazapine is considered a narcotic? I have been prescribed a 30 mg dose and would like to know if lab work would show any narcotics in my system if I start taking it? I haven't been able to sleep. ## Sally please see Verwon's message. This drug is NOT a narcotic (opioid). It is an antidepressant, mostly used to treat depression, but can also be prescribed for anxiety and insomnia.

I have found these 30mg Mirtazapine pills of mine and do not remember them being prescribed. So I just need to confirm what the pill is supposed to look like? ## What are the markings on them? I'm sorry, but I need more information, in order to check for you. The U.S. FDA requires all manufactured medications to have unique imprints to enable their identification, in case of emergency, thus if you post back with the imprint, I will be better able to help you. Thank you!

I am worried if there would be any negative drug reactions. My 30 year old son been taking gabapentine for 18 months and dr just prescribed the mirtazapine. also add had been diagnosed and untreated for years and I am looking for a natural medicine and have recently read about synaptol. Dr gave me the antideppressents instead of any add meds because of history of drug abuse. ## I can't provide you with any information on the Synaptol, since it is a natural product, it isn't tested for side effects and possible interactions, as is done for prescription medications. So, on that I can only advise that his doctor be consulted, before using it. As to the Mirtazapine and the Gabapentin, they can be used together, but the doctor does have to carefully consider the dosage, due to the fa...

Hello, I recently went to the doctor and did a UA and tested positive for opiates. I take Alprazolam and Flexeril, and Mirtazapine. And I have not had pain medicine in over two weeks. My question is why would that show up? ## What opiates were you taking? The length of time they remain detectable can vary depending on the specific medication, dosage, and how long you were taking it, according to NIH studies. What specific medication or metabolite showed up? Can you please post back with more details?

I have recently stopped taking 375 mg Effexor after being on it for the past 10 years. Now I am trying to cease my 45mg Mirtazapine, which I have also been on for 7 years. I have started by halving the tablet 3 days ago and want to know how quickly I can reduce the dosage?

I am a 33 year old male. I've been a low self esteem person from childhood. Due to some family tensions before my marriage and after my marriage (around 5 - 6 months from Oct 2015 to Mar 2016) I was under tremendous pressure and was constantly over thinking. That time around I was unaware that this behavior of mine would lead to depression. By the end of Feb 2016 I was feeling some symptoms like fatigue, fast heart beat some times, and reduced sleep (6 -7 hrs per day) and unknown fear. I underwent regular blood tests and other tests like ECG ECHO etc thinking there was some physical problem but every thing was normal in tests. During last week of march 2016 I lost sleep completely for 3-4 continuous days. I was frightened and consulted a psychiatrist. My doctor also prescribed me th...

I've moved from 15mg to 30mg and although the sleepiness subsided quite quickly after beginning the 15mg, the restless legs I have got since taking the 30mg is not subsiding and driving me insane. As advised I take the tablet at night, go to bed as per usual shattered and looking forward to sleep, only to find I am kept up for a minimum of three hours by restless legs. Is there anything I can take to reduce the effect of the restless legs - painkillers etc, that is safe to take alongside Miratazapine???

been taking mirtazapine 15 for lower back pain (degenerative condition)for 3wks yesterday was my first day for more than 1 year without painkillers - remedine forte - they did not take pain away!! had tried physio, reiki, etc etc had tried amytripaline -did not work- only downside are the weird dreams but a small price to pay for painrelief. I was not offered this med by my gp but having read about it I asked for it ## The weird dreams are too be expected, since Mirtazapine is a NaSSA, which means it does have an effect on brain chemicals. However, the good news is they will most likely taper off in frequency and severity after a few more weeks, once your body is more used to the medication. Learn more Mirtazapine details here. I'm glad that it's working for you, though. That...
