Anxiety And Depression Triggered By Violent Storm. Prescribed Mirtazapine. Possible Side Effects?

I am a counselor who sent a senior woman to a psychologist to treat anxiety and depression, triggered by a violent storm. We worked with past issues, but she needed chemical help. Mirtazapine, 15mg was prescribed. I want to understand what this senior lady may experience with the drug - side effects, etc. She and her husband seem quite dependent on my help and counsel. Dr. Bob
