Hi guys! i started taking mirtazapine about 4 months ago and gained 14 pounds. all around my stomach area. ive completeley stopped now. its been about 5 days and still no weight loss. i bodybuild for a hobby and could literally eat anything before taking this drug and it would turn to muscle. now, even if i eat one meal i seem to put on weight? will this stop? someone help?
The weight gain on Mirtazapine is very real - it’s such a shame because otherwise (for me) it’s been such a good medication. From everything I’ve read people say that once you stop taking it the weight will fall off - you probably just need to give it a couple of weeks at least from your last dose. Be careful though - stopping all of a sudden can cause problems for many people. Good luck xx
