As the title says really. I’m taking the antidepressant mirtazapine and one of the side effects is dizziness. I’m curious how it does so. Thanks in advance!

Dizziness is related to a system we have that helps us maintain our balance called the vestibular system.
Dizziness can take a couple of different forms – it can mean I’m lightheaded, I have vertigo, or I’m feeling clumsy and can’t stand up straight. These all have different sources that can be caused by medications. I’d have to do some more research to figure out which path mirtazapine affects, but it’s common for antidepressants to suppress the vestibular system in a way that makes us feel dizzy
