Hi

I'm new to this site. I've just got back from my GP this morning and she has prescribed mirtazapine. I've been really down and having very black thoughts, i'd say almost suicidal. Also I've been feeling terrible fear and dread with panic attacks etc. Not slept properly in ages. I've been reading some posts on here and this med seems to be good for these things. However I've been trying to loose weight lately as my weight gain has been contributing to my depression. I'm too scared to start my mirt now after reading that they will make me gain more weight. Has anyone had any experience of mirt? Does it always cause weight gain? Maybe I should go back to GP and tell her I don'twant them. I've never taken AD before.
