    Depends, I haven't had any signs of weight gain yet for me, but this is still very early days. You will get more of an appetite I guess, I certainly have, so that is probably what makes you gain weight. Just watch what you eat basically, and you should be ok (in theory).

    I've been on 30mg for nearly 3 years now. No noticeable weight gain - apart from the half stone or so I lost on my previous medication which set off all my anorexic tendencies. My weight has been stable since I returned to a healthy weight. The mirtazapine helped me start eating normally again, and also sleeping, all of which helped me regain physical health. I am at a normal weight now, not severely underweight, albeit still slightly underweight.

    I put on one and a half stones whilst taking mirtazapine. I came off it last year and suffered horrendous withdrawals. I'm doing weight**tchers now and have very nearly got to goal.I was ill and lost about 7lbs and now I have nearly lost a stone. I couldn't stop the weight piling on inspite of eating healthily and exercising. Mirtazapine was originally given to anorexics as an appetite stimulant but worked well as an anti depressant and helped me to sleep. The weight gain and the withdrawals were horrible though.
