I’m taking mertazaphine again but dont want to be on it long because of weight gain. Any alternatives?
Hi Janey, you could try SSRI’s, SNRI’s or Amitriptyline if your main issue is Depression. You could try the same for Anxiety but also throw in Gabapentin or Pregabalin which are used successfully for Anxiety but not Depression. CBD oil in high spectrum doses is another alternative for Anxiety.
Why not just take it at night right before bed? Only people I’ve heard of that gain weight are the ones who take it while awake and get the cravings. About alternaties you should discuss with your MD.
No, no. I take it right before bed and i got all the weight gain unfortunately!!
