Many of the medications you've listed can affect serotonin levels, so adding another one creates the risk of your developing serotonin syndrome, which can be dangerous.

It's not that they can't be combined, but it must be done very carefully, with the doses taken under careful consideration and the patient being regularly monitored.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Mirtazapine as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain.

Are you seeing a specialist?

I've been taking mirtazapine for a few years and never read the side effects. But the last 4ish years I've had chronic back pain. I've seen it can be a side effect. But I would have thought it would have lessened over time but it just keeps getting worse. Also I've put on so much weight. I've gone from size 14 to 24. I can't exercise because of pain which in turn means I'm just getting bigger and bigger and then that obviously contributes to the back pain. Someone please help. 42 year old mother
