Yes it can be caused due to Mirtazapine, quite common so don’t be worried
Maintain adequate hydration
Whenever you sit up from lying down position / stand up from sitting position do it slowly / steadily
The side effect should gradually decrease over time, if it doesn’t do inform your treating psychiatrist

Hello, greetings to you. Feeling dizzy or groggy, imbalanced, heavy head or light headed is a common side effect of the drug Mirtazipine. Sometimes such effects will vain off, in some days time as your body adjusts to the drug or it may continue to be there at various intensities.
For how long are you taking the drug?

Plus it’s natural, safe, no side effects and non- habit forming. It’s 100%effective and you will feel significant relief if you follow the regime religiously.
I am a Psychiatrist, specialised in Homeopathy with 13+ years of experience. I have seen many patients who have been slowly and steadily been able to taper the Mirtazipine while they are being supported with Homeopathic medicines.
I must say, it’s a very addictive drug with strong lasting effects
