was taking 15mgs of mirtazipine a night, made me drowsy, never slept through the night however, the weight gain was awful, im doin everything i should to loose the weight, it wont budge, the meds did help a bit for my depression and anxiety tho
gp put me on trazadone yesterday, 50mg to start, saying these are not bad for weight gain. took one last night and was totally knocked out, got 8hours of sleep, no hangover off the drug this morning either. decided to come cold turkey off the mirtazipine, she says i can go up to 150 mg of the new drug
any experiences for the side effects, and anyone gained weight, and lost the weight after stopping mirtazipine?
thanks for any advice and experiences
Hi Jacqueline. When the Prescribing NP put me on Trazadone, she started me off at 50mg also and told me I could take it up to 150mg if I needed to. I was only on it one night as it never really put me to sleep and gave me an awful drug hangover the next day. But that was just me and I hope they work for you without any side effects.
hi all been on mirtazapine for since dec last year and have put on loads of weight i feel im wasting my time telling my dr as they said it was cos i gave up smoking just 4 wks ago now but i can’t see how i have put on three st since then as id have had to constantly eat every waking min i want off them so will have to make an appointment with another dr its making me struggle to breath with all this weight and i have never ever been this much here’s the kicker just before christmas i was on par with losing weight now this i feel so down im not feeling any thing anymore but frustration and the extra weight is making me wheez and out of breath id rather be back on floxitine really hope i can shift this weight
same as you, im doing loads of excercise and counting calories too, its a nightmare i hope now im off it i hope i can shift the weight, its so disheartening hope you loose your weight too
