Withdrawing from mirtazapine

[Shazamataz]

Sorry to hear about the weight gain A63. I was worried about that too with the Mirt but my hugely increased appetite only seemed to last just over a week, and I had a lot of catching up to do!

I've always been relatively small/slim but do understand how horrible one can feel when gaining weight. I did go through a heavy stage (for me) about 15 years ago when I got to 65kg when a good weighyt for me is about 55 kg. I went to Weight Watchers and ended up getting asked to leave as I lost too much weight (got a bit obsessed) and was down to 50kg!

I do wonder, though, the way I have been feeling recently, if I'd rather be fat and happy than skinny and so dreadfully miserable.

That said, I don't know your own weight situation and do understand how it could make things worse in the long run.

Hope everyone else doing ok?

I am totally off Mirtazapine now but by only two weeks so am I withdrawal. I would never ever touch this drug again after being on it twice now and both times it making me miles worse. I stupidly listened to my doctor who said the first time I took it, I was probs just so stressed over my divorce that it had nothing to do with the pills. Total rubbish. This meds just does not agree with me!!! But I know two people who take it and it has worked wonders for and the doctors swear by it. Sadly it is just not for me and I am currently on nothing at all.
