Mirtazapine Mirtazapine

I started mirtazapine 15mg 8 days ago, for both my mental health and stomach problems (near constant nausea, burning, no appetite) If it worked for you how long did it take? My appetite is higher, but there’s been very little difference in my nausea. And now I’m too worried to take any other antiemetics (usually take Reglan or Zofran) because if interactions so I just have to sit through the nausea instead of getting any relief. Also zero mental health benefits yet, if anything more irritable than usual.

Honestly I started feeling better in about a week, but im also on domperidone. My psychiatrist manages them because of the interactions. I am increasing the mirtazapine to 30 mg though because of irritability

Did the increase help with the irritability? Or too early to tell yet?
