Always hungry on Mirtazipine!

So my doctor added Mirtazipine, half a 15mg tablet at night on top of my current medication and I'm literally constantly hungry, it doesn't matter what I eat I'm still hungry afterwards and craving carbs and sugar throughout the day. They really help with the anxiety but the side effects are quite off putting because I feel so embarrassed due to the fact that I'm always hungry! Anyone else get this?

Hi helloworld.. do have the up & downs with cravings..  Planning ahead works for me.. Buy lots of fresh fruit & veg..  Cook up low fat meals & freeze.. Its the taste buds that causes the prob & my stomach has no idea what Im filling it with.

Im on citalopram and i have noticed just recently how hungry I am like deb I try to keep a lot of fruit in and eat white meat such as pork or chicken 

I went from 230-290 pounds on mertazpine.. It worked tho.. My anxiety left and never came back untill 5 years later untill my lifestyle fell off. I would get off and try welbutrin.. Just tell the doc you don't want to gain weight.

Hi sorry to hear of your weight gain unfortunately all these drugs r awful im on epillum for panick disorder though not really working not sure how this site works im new to the site

Hi sharon.. Im also on epillim (soldium valproate)  You may need your dosage increased so it can work more effectively for you.
