¿Alguien ha subido mucho de peso mientras tomaba mirtazapina o ha intentado hacer dieta y no ha podido perder peso?
So far just a couple pounds and I've been on mirtazipine 10 weeks now. But even that causes me to be cautious lately as I notice I can't stop oinking out on sweets.
Yes unbelievable! ! I gained 8lb in 4 weeks and have the most awful cravings for sweet stuff. Getting up and eating jam toast at 3am.🙈how long have you been on them? Do you find you have a short temper also??
Hi sasha.
Ive gained some weight but i needed too. Unfortunately for me i have no appetite through the day at all and crave junk in the late evening.
Me temo que sí, sashagirl. Estuve tomando Mirt durante 5 años y gané 5 stone. Probé todos los trucos del libro para perder algo de peso sin éxito. Dejé de tomar Mirt hace un mes y ya he perdido una stone. Es un efecto secundario bien conocido. Tendrás que decidir si los aspectos positivos superan los negativos. ¡Mucha suerte!
Esta será mi cuarta semana con esto. Realmente necesito perder peso. Empecé una dieta alta en proteínas al mismo tiempo y he perdido media libra. Tengo algunos otros efectos secundarios raros. Quiero dejar esto.
Estoy teniendo otros efectos secundarios locos también. Este es mi cuarto mes con ello. Tengo un dolor de estómago severo, pesadillas horribles y estreñimiento loco. Quiero dejarlo.
Sashagirl I am under a phyciatrist to try and find a medication that suits.
Upon hearing these side affects of weight gain increased apertite that wakes me early hours forcing me to get up looking for what I can eat, the cravings I just can't fight.
She has told me to taper off them as this was causing further problems.
I am no coming off it and on to another called venlafaxen. I was a 10/12 when I started on met 4 months ago, I am now a 14/16 the weight increase is unreal the way it has piled on in such a short time.😕😕
Mi dolor de estómago es tan malo que lo siento en mi parte baja de la espalda. Sí, y el estreñimiento es horrible. Voy a llamar a mi psicólogo mañana y le pediré que me retire de este medicamento. NO me gusta esta droga. Los efectos secundarios superan los beneficios para mí. ¿Y mencioné mi picazón severa? Me recetó una dosis alta de hidroxizina y ahora estoy extremadamente cansada todo el tiempo.

I am currently reducing my dose and hope to come off it before Christmas. I looked into it because of noting that some of my patients were being put on it for poor appetite.
I also experienced increased anxiety which was worse with higher doses. I joined the gym and exercised 3x/week and still gained weight.
Good luck.
The first thing my pshyciatrist told me was I would gain weight. I didn't think it would be so quick and so much. A couple of pound I thought. Not a stone!!! And how easy it was to gain yet so hard to loose. I joined slimmers world but never lost a pound and I done everything by the book.👎👎
I've lost over 2 stone since I started taking it 10 months ago. It's been a slow process, I'm counting calories, logging my meals everyday & keeping active. I'm currently on 45mg so don't know if dosage is a factor?
Hi Elaine
I think it's a case of diffrent bodies. I'm taking 30mg for severe depression and anxiety due to life events over the past year.
Struggling to find balance. Sertraline had a terrible effect on me and I literally couldn't eat which was the reason my Physciatrist put me on mertazapine. Now because of the fast weight gain and terrible brusts of anger I am now tapering from mertazapine to venlafaxen which she says are the gold star. Fingers crossed I find a balance with them. Third time lucky I hope.
Hi Sasha,
I started 15mg of Mirtazapine in April of this year and went up to 15/30mg alternate dosage in July. By the end of September I had put on over a stone in weight. I then started a Slimming World programme and to date I have lost 1 stone and 2 pounds.
I never thought I'd be able to lose any weight at all whilst on the Mirt but I've been very pleasantly surprised. The funny thing is that on this diet you actually eat more - just the right stuff.
Worth a try.
Sasha are you still on the mirtazapine im having a shocking time. Imnwaitong to see a psyc doc for a one off app as the doctors dont know what to do as im hyper sensitive. I started on 15mg but im taking just 7.5mg but still have stomach pain and terrible pins and needles. But 7.5mg is nothimg for depression x
Hi dadoo
How are you doing on venlafaxine are you off the mirtazipine now. Im having a terrible time on them. I tried couple nights off them im on 15mg for depression. The pins and needles eased a little bit the stomach pain was agony. So now im trying 7.5mg last tow nights but all thats going to do is be a sleeping pill x
Kelly, junto con el aumento de peso a pesar de que hacía ejercicio y comía 1100 calorías al día y seguía aumentando. Estaba tan enferma. Siempre me sentía como si fuera a vomitar y el dolor en mi vientre era horrible. También tenía dolor de cabeza a pesar de tomar algo para ello. Mi médico me lo retiró y aumentó mi Welbutrin. También tomo Paxil y Klonopin. Realmente no puedo decir si el Welbutrin está funcionando. No llevo suficiente tiempo tomándolo. Espero que encuentres los medicamentos adecuados para ti. Cuídate. Avísame qué pasa.
hola, acabo de ver tu carta, sí que ese maldito mirtazapina (mirtazipine) me da un enorme apetito por los dulces
, helado, todo lo grasoso, antes era super delgada, ahora soy un bulto gordo que ha ganado unas tres piedras (3 stones), además tengo días terribles de letargo y desorientación, sintiendo que voy a entrar en un ataque de pánico. Voy a ver al médico el lunes, a ver si puedo conseguir algo más, también me dan mareos, la vida no es buena en este momento.
