I have felt like this for nearly 5 weeks now. I don't smoke or take anything. The doctor has put me on mirtazapine as thinks it's anxiety but it can't be meds because it was here before that.
I'm so sure I have brain disease. Does thins sound like it could be?

Brief Answer:
Wait for 2-3 weeks
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
First I should emphasize that Mirtazapine, Its full effect may take more than four weeks to occur, with some benefit possibly as early as one to two weeks. So wait for 2-3 weeks more.
If after this period you still feel the same (and to exclude brain diseases) talk to your doctor to order a head MRI examination
After having the result he/she will advise you further if needed.

Hi again
The MRI is more exact than CT scan for the brain.
It might be nothing but when a patient has complaints especially after the treatment we recommend MRI .If it is negative you should just continue the current treatment

It is my doctor that recommended ct scan. Would that still show any problems? Also had 2 normal neurological exams does that mean anything?

Hi again
Ok if the neurologic examination of yours is normal this is a good medical sign and this is the reason why your doctor has ordered a head CT.I fully agree with this decision because he has examined your current clinical situation closely
Let's wait for the CT result and than discuss again.
However according to the history you provide I don't think it might be something serious do not worry
