The night before this one, I only got 30 minutes of sleep as I was *really* manic on just Mirtazapine. The only thing is the akathisia gets really bad during the day. I will figure something out

Bless your heart. I know what it's like to have your p-doc, not call back. I was on Abilify for a short time. I had to pay out of pocket, $400.00 for a 30 day supply because my insurance wouldn't pay and I couldn't get a hold of my p doc. Can you imagine???

Keep calling....until someone calls you back. When they do call back , put some base in your voice. Please don't give up. You have rights. I'd drive to the office. Akathisia is not an acceptable side effect, and you need an alternative.!!
