I think it helped the akathisia a bit, but hasn't done anything for the jaw stiffness. I also feel overstimulated on it -- irritable, dysphoric, sensitive to noise etc. I tend to get that stuff the following day after I use Doxylamine for sleep, so maybe the sedation on the higher doses masks it.
Since lowering the dose wouldn't help, what would be the next sensible step? Should I just ask my doctor for a Cogentin script or something?
Feeling angry, worried, frustrated .. it's been 12 days now; wish I'd never taken the Mirtazapine to begin with, *sigh*
