I started Krista on transdermal mirtazapine (Mirtaz) and she started eating well as expected. But this morning she had some diarrhea. I see this side effect in only 6% of trial cats from the insert. Which is the same as the control group. On Google, I see it listed as a side effect only in the context of serotonin syndrome. But I don’t see any other signs of that. No vocalization, no increased affection, she’s a little restless but I think I’d be too if I went through what she did in the litter boxes.
And now she’s sleeping off the whole incident and her breakfast.
I’ll contact the vet when they open. For now, I’m thinking we’ll skip a dose (we only just started yesterday) and give her s boulardii today to see if that resolves the diarrhea.
She did have clostridium in the summer. If she has more diarrhea/loose stools, I’ll send off a sample for PCR.
I’m hoping it’s not that though and was looking for other reports of mirtazapine (or Mirtaz) and diarrhea to help put my mind at ease.
