Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids. There is a possibility that Mirtazapine can have triggered the symptoms. I suggest using an anti hemorrhoid cream for local application such as Preparation H. I also suggest soaking in warm water for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
