When can you expect to start feeling better

It is important that, during the first few weeks of the treatment, you talk with your doctor about the effects of Mirtazapine tablets: → 2 to 4 weeks after you have started taking Mirtazapine tablets, talk to your doctor about how this medicine has affected you. If you still don’t feel better, your doctor may prescribe a higher dose. In that case, talk to your doctor again after another 2 to 4 weeks. Usually you will need to take Mirtazapine tablets until your symptoms of depression have disappeared for 4 to 6 months.

If you stop taking Mirtazapine tablets

Only stop taking Mirtazapine tablets in consultation with your doctor. If you stop too early, your depression might come back. Once you are feeling better, talk to your doctor. Your doctor will decide when treatment can be stopped. Do not suddenly stop taking Mirtazapine tablets, even when your depression has lifted.

Product Details

What you need to know before you take Mirtazapine tablets

Do not take Mirtazapine tablets • if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to mirtazapine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). If so, you must talk to your doctor as soon as you can before taking Mirtazapine tablets. • if you are taking or have recently taken (within the last two weeks) medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO-Is). • If you have ever developed a severe skin rash or skin peeling, blistering and/or mouth sores after taking Mirtazapine tablets or other medicinal product(s). Warnings and precautions Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Mirtazapine tablets: • If you are taking buprenorphine-containing medicinal products. The use of these medicines together with Mirtazapine can lead to serotonin syndrome, a potentially lifethreatening condition (see “Other medicines and Mirtazapine tablets.”). Children and adolescents Mirtazapine should normally not be used for children and adolescents under 18 years because efficacy was not demonstrated. Also, you should know that patients under 18 have an increased risk of side-effects such as suicide attempt, suicidal thoughts and hostility (predominantly aggression, oppositional behaviour and anger) when they take this class of medicines. Despite this, your doctor may prescribe Mirtazapine tablets for patients under 18 because he/she decides that this is in their best interests. If your doctor has prescribed Mirtazapine tablets for a patient under 18 and you want to discuss this, please go back to your doctor. You should inform your doctor if any of the symptoms listed above develop or worsen when patients under 18 are taking Mirtazapine tablets. Also, the long-term safety effects concerning growth, maturation and cognitive and behavioural development of Mirtazapine in this age group have not yet been demonstrated. In addition, significant weight gain has been observed in this age category more often when treated with Mirtazapine compared with adults. Thoughts of suicide and worsening of your depression If you are depressed you can sometimes have thoughts of harming or killing yourself. These may be increased when first starting antidepressants, since these medicines all take time to work, usually about two weeks but sometimes longer. You may be more likely to think like this: • if you have previously had thoughts about killing or harming yourself. • if you are a young adult. Information from clinical trials has shown an increased risk of suicidal behaviour in adults aged less than 25 years with psychiatric conditions who were treated with an antidepressant. → If you have thoughts of harming or killing yourself at any time, contact your doctor or go to a hospital straight away. You may find it helpful to tell a relative or close friend that you are depressed, and ask them to read this leaflet. You might ask them to tell you if they think your depression is getting worse, or if they are worried about changes in your behaviour. Also take special care with Mirtazapine • if you have, or have ever had one of the following conditions. → Tell your doctor about these conditions before taking Mirtazapine, if not done previously. – seizures (epilepsy). If you develop seizures or your seizures become more frequent, stop taking Mirtazapine and contact your doctor immediately; – liver disease, including jaundice.

In rare cases these symptoms can be signs of disturbances in blood cell production in the bone marrow. While rare, these symptoms most commonly appear after 4-6 weeks of treatment. • if you are an elderly person. You could be more sensitive to the side-effects of antidepressants. • Serious skin reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) have been reported with the use of Mirtazapine tablets. Stop using and seek medical attention immediately if you notice any of the symptoms described in section 4 in relation to these serious skin reactions. If you have ever developed any severe skin reactions, treatment with Mirtazapine tablets should not be restarted. Other medicines and Mirtazapine tablets Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. Do not take Mirtazapine in combination with: • monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO inhibitors). Also, do not take Mirtazapine during the two weeks after you have stopped taking MAO inhibitors. If you stop taking Mirtazapine, do not take MAO inhibitors during the next two weeks either. Examples of MAO inhibitors are moclobemide, tranylcypromine (both are antidepressants) and selegiline (used for Parkinson’s disease).

In very rare cases Mirtazapine alone or the combination of Mirtazapine with these medicines, can lead to a so-called serotonin syndrome. Some of the symptoms of this syndrome are: inexplicable fever, sweating, increased heart rate, diarrhoea, (uncontrollable) muscle contractions, shivering, overactive reflexes, restlessness, mood changes, and unconsciousness. If you get a combination of these symptoms, talk to your doctor immediately. • the antidepressant nefazodone. It can increase the amount of Mirtazapine in your blood. Inform your doctor if you are using this medicine. It might be needed to lower the dose of Mirtazapine, or when use of nefazodone is stopped, to increase the dose of Mirtazapine again. • medicines for anxiety or insomnia such as benzodiazepines; medicines for schizophrenia such as olanzapine; medicines for allergies such as cetirizine; medicines for severe pain such as morphine. In combination with these medicines Mirtazapine can increase the drowsiness caused by these medicines. • medicines for infections; medicines for bacterial infections (such as erythromycin); medicines for fungal infections (such as ketoconazole) and medicines for HIV/AIDS (such as HIV-protease inhibitors) and drugs for stomach ulcers (such as cimetidine). In combination with Mirtazapine these medicines can increase the amount of Mirtazapine in your blood. Inform your doctor if you are using these medicines. It might be needed to lower the dose of Mirtazapine, or when these medicines are stopped, to increase the dose of Mirtazapine again. • medicines for epilepsy such as carbamazepine and phenytoin; medicines for tuberculosis such as rifampicin.

Contact your doctor when experiencing such symptoms. Mirtazapine tablets with food and alcohol You may get drowsy if you drink alcohol while you are taking Mirtazapine. You are advised not to drink any alcohol. You can take Mirtazapine tablets with or without food. Pregnancy and breast-feeding If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. Limited experience with Mirtazapine administration to pregnant women does not indicate an increased risk. However, caution should be exercised when used during pregnancy. If you use Mirtazapine tablets until, or shortly before birth, your baby should be supervised for possible adverse effects. Make sure your midwife and/or doctor knows you are on Mirtazapine tablets. When taken during pregnancy, similar drugs (SSRIs) may increase the risk of a serious condition in babies, called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), making the baby breathe faster and appear bluish. These symptoms usually begin during the first 24 hours after the baby is born. If this happens to your baby you should contact your midwife and/or doctor immediately.
