Hi i was prescribed 15mg mirt about 3 weeks ago and 1mg rispiridone about 2 weeks ago which was upped to 2 mg last week ive noticed slight weight gain i stopped my rispiridone last night but took a mirt last night the thought of weight gain is scary to me im scared how much will go on if i continue on the mirt so im gonna stop the mirt to see if it helps its encouraging to know others have have lost since stopping my mental health proffesional is phoning me about this i dont want to be taking pills and be reliant on them shes just phoned and says happy for me to try a week without them to see how i get on so fingers crossed
I gained about 30 pounds while on it.
if you can do without mirtazapine it would be brilliant. my son put on 7 stone in 2 years with this drug which badly affected his self esteem. i only hope he gets successfully gets over going cold turkey from it.
good luck ruth and best wishes for going forward.
