Regarding Mirtazapine
My doctor recently started me on Mirnite 15, which was a replacement to Prothiaden 50. After about 5 days I had 7-8 mouth ulcers including the tongue, developed over 3 days. We have checked with the Doctor and the Pediatrician and I've been given treatment for them. My hemogram and Vitamin B12 serum were normal. There are no more new ulcers starting. However my doctor says the ulcers were not due to Mirnite, while I read in many places online that a sign of infection (eg. mouth ulcer, sore throat) is a serious side effect of mirtazapine. I have been told to continue with the dose. I still am worried even though I have been examined by a Pediatrician. Should I be continuing with this medication?

Hello
Low white blood cell counts--fever, chills, sore throat, cough, sores in your mouth or nose, flu-like symptoms, trouble breathing etc can sometimes happen with mirtazapine.
You should get a complete blood count done if u haven't done it yet....
