I have been reading all your experiences & am also 'suffering' from weight gain, I have been careful about what I eat & (even tho I REALLY didn't feel like it) exercising - but to no avail, the weight just continued to 'pile' on!
Well my Psyc has agreed to take me off them & I have increased my Venlefaxine from 150mg to 225m daily in prep to start to reduce the Mirtazipine 30mg daily. I am going to see her tomorrow and I am really really worried that when I start to reduce the Mirt, that I will NOT lose any weight It frightens me that I am pinning ALL my hopes on this & don't know how I will cope if does not work for me.
Is there anyone out there that has happened to??? Please help.
Hi I was on mirtazapine for 3 months and put on a lot of weight which is
difinitely due to the tablets. When I went to docs about something completely different she then told me about weight gain with tablets I have changed to another antidespressent and in just a week feel I am much better and have lost a small ammount of weigh good luck
Hi Mazda, I was interested to hear that you have come off the Mirt. Firstly was it a difficult to wean yourself off them? Also what meds are you on now?
I have had a bad day and am considering coming off the 45mg of Mirt because my body aches so much and my weight is on the up.I want to look at other possibilities before returning to doc.
luckily i didnt get any weight gain on or coming of mirtz but was only on 30mg. i now on lithium,wich have controlled my bipolar 'highs' but now i just feel depressed most of the time also just been put on trazodone for my anxiety, 2weeks ago-50mg nigh, anyone no how effective they are please?
