Mirtazapine side effects - extreme vocalization??

Hello All,

I have my civvie Chloe a dose of mirtazapine early today for poor appetite due to antibiotics for UTI. She is being so vocal. Much more than usual and it has me concerned. She doesn't seem to be in any pain; just really wanting attention and being vocally demanding. Have any of you used this for appi stimulant and what kind of side effects if any have you noticed?

HX - last day of clavamox for UTI (e coli). All blood work good. No hyperthryoid or renal problems. She lost 1 pound in a week (we think due to AB's and/or new person moving in with us)

 

i do believe that is a common side effect of mirtz. here's another recent thread on this

Hio Paige-
Yup, that is a side effect. I used cypro instead of mirtz, which gave similar reaction if dose was too high. It should wear off in the next day. If it gets too concerning dont hesitate to call your vet.

Sorry to hear about the stress and uti. Hope it passes quickly.

 

(((((((Carolyn))))))) I actually thought of contacting you but did not want to upset you with thinking about the times you used it. I hope you are doing better. HUGS!!! :YMHUG: Thank you for posting. Her vocalization really scared (scares) me and knowing that it is somewhat of a normal side effect makes me feel alot better. Whew.

 

Thank you Cindy, I found that after I posted too. ohmygod_smile
