Newest uploud on withdrawal, side effects weight gain and starting again medication again. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QRIHlpBrUFo.html

I started Mirtazapine in August and have gained 13lbs in approx 2 months. My self confidence is strongly linked to my weight, and I’m struggling to see the woods from the trees as all I can think about now is my weight, that people are looking at me and judging me, my clothes are uncomfortable and tight and I’m now hyper conscious of how much I’m eating. I’m going to have to find an alternative option as I don’t think I want to live my life constantly feeling hideous and guilty about everything I eat. I found this video helpful, knowing that others have had the same issues. The first month was absolutely amazing, I’ve never felt better in my whole life, but unfortunately I’m not body positive enough to accept the added weight. Thanks for sharing! X

I'm glad it could help in some way and I totally agree if the results of the side effects start to outway the benefit of the medication its definitely time to try somthing else because its not worth it. Sending you much love and health for the future. 💙

I gained 40 lbs in 4 months! 😔 I am heavier than I have ever been in my life!! The rapid weight gain caused my ovaries to get out of wack and I almost had to have one removed because I struggle with PCOs and cyst. I finally started seeing a sleep doctor and I’ve been on Ambien for a week. I did have to take one mirtazipine because the withdrawal symptoms made me very suicidal. I still haven’t lost any weight. I truly think it has ruined my metabolism.

I’ve been taking mirtazapine 15mg for 4 months and I’ve gained 24 pounds. I am hungry like a pregnant woman, I crave so much carbohydrates, and sweets. I’m not just hungry at night as my psychiatrist suggested to only eat healthy snacks, I’m hungry around the clock, and feel like I have a bottomless pit of extreme hunger. Mind you I have always been extremely strict with my diets and never craved sweets. I had zero control of myself. This is the biggest I’ve ever been in my life, I have stretch marks on my thighs, butt, boobs from how rapid the weight gain was, I’ve been pregnant before, and pregnancy didn’t even do this to me. I would exercise 5 days out of the week for about two hours in pretty intense weight training. Eventually, due to the continuous weight gain, crazy craving I came to evaluate everything I was taking for my mental health, and realized it has to be the mirtazapine. Come to find all of these articles scientifically explaining the weight gain and so many people sharing there stories.

I gained 40 lbs in 4 months! It has been miserable. I was prescribed it for sleep. I craved sweets and carbs too! It was nothing to eat 3 or 4 bowls of cereal before bed. I finally saw a sleep doc and I’m on ambien for about of week. I had to take 1 mirtazipine the other day because the withdrawal symptoms are so bad. I still haven’t lost much weight. I think it’s destroyed my metabolism.

I can relate to you so much with the eating disorder. I knew I had to get off of this drug because although I wasn’t in extreme mental distress, I had this dull feeling of disappointment because of the weight I put on and how I couldn’t lose it no matter what it seemed. I’m on day 7 without any mirtazapine and my sleep is so awful. I think it’s the worst today because I got 3-4 hours of sleep, and I have to work, and I just don’t even feel like a human. I’ve had a lot of dark thoughts after quitting lexapro and remeron. To the point where sometimes I fear I’m going to lose my mind and have to be committed. I worry that I’m not going to be able to hold my job down very much longer because I’m no longer the happy stable person I was. I’m crying pretty much every other day…I’m so nauseous right now. Needless to say I’m afraid. I wonder sometimes why I do this to myself when the solution is right on my shelf. I just couldn’t live the way I was anymore, hating my body.

This resonates so much to how I feel / felt. I promise the withdrawal does get better I would definitely suggest speaking to a doctor about other options even though I know that gers tiring. I still live in hope that one day I will be able to take the medication without the ED voice but for now knowing other people understand and are still here keeping on going does help. 💙

@@deant6361 hi thanks for asking! I’m doing a lot better now. I remember when I wrote that and how hard everyday was. I was crying every other day. I don’t take the remeron anymore but if I go days without good sleep I will take a tiny piece of one. I’ve lost 10 pounds since then. Mentally I’ve evened out a lot more than when I post. I found myself getting depressed and anxious even on the antidepressants so being off of them doesn’t feel like too much of a difference now. I’ve changed jobs and am moving very soon and I think a lot of my depression and anxiety was due to the job I had! I’m feeling hopeful now. I’m glad you are doing better everyday too! Mirtazapine withdrawal is very difficult but gets better.

Because mine is unbearable as well as all the main withdrawal symptoms,, doctors are just telling me it's all in my head, it's my bad mental health, but I know my body,, withdrawal and my bad mental health are two different things,, please tell me this stops soon,, cos I can't take much more, this 10 months has felt more like 10 years.

@@andrewjones1883 Andrew I am not a doctor I’m still on my 15 mg but this takes a while it definitely takes may be a couple years to be yourself again but it is not usually as they tell me because of the fact that you need it. The withdraws are very difficult and very odd, if you tell yourself, this is just a symptom of the withdrawal it will help one day at a time. Hopefully you did not go off of it to quickly. I bought a scale on Amazon that measures featherweight. It is like a pharmacy scale but not the expensive one. I think I spent $20 on a $25 so I got the lowest tablets from my doctor and my son made a 10% reduction number for me to weigh out every month so if I’m on 15 mg, I go down to 13.5 for a whole month I weigh it out I take the extra powder that I crushed and keep it in a little jar and every single night I weigh out the 13.5 mg the next month I do another 10% off and this will take me probably a year and a half to two years, but that is the way to avoid the severe withdrawal The doctors that tell you you can withdraw in a couple of months is not true most of the time. Please don’t give up research everything and try to get doctor help.

I was put on 45 mg, following an acute crisis in 2021. For a time it worked. I stayed on this for 18 months, then dropped, but lacked confidence to stay on the 30mg, and went back up. I hate feeling heavy. But the double whammy of Mirtazapine, is increased appetite AND a slow metabolism. I feel uncomfortable. I struggle to keep weight off. It slows me down. Makes me feel sluggish. I don’t enjoy activities, which involve exerting yourself. I want to be me, again. I’m over the actual crisis that initiated being prescribed the drug, in the first place. But now I feel it’s only the Mirtazapine that is holding me back. I’m gradually reducing the dosage, with a plan to get off soon, under supervision of my GP pharmacist. But even here, I’m uncertain of what is going to happen, when I completely come off it.

Firstly, I'm so sorry you're going through it depression is called the loneliest illness for a reason. For me mirt took a good two months to really kick in helping with my depression but because my mental health is quite medication resistant I also take venlafaxine so it might be worth speaking to your gp about other options of possible or increasing. It might be that therapy alongside medication might help, but I know that's not for everyone. I promise I have been where you are many times, but it's always been worth it when I've made it out the other end. Sending you so much love and support. You're not alone in how you feel.

@BrendaPenton
@BrendaPenton Год назад
I am going off for exactly the same reason, except I did gain 20-30 pounds from January to now. I have EDNOS (my eating disorder was more about fear or calories and weight gain) and body dysmorphia and I just saw the weight gain and I could feel like every meal added 5 pounds on and I was getting heavier and more and more depressed. I couldn't control myself. If I bought snacks to last me a week I could eat it in a day or two and I just felt so out of control over food it was like I was obsessed. I also had a different type of fatigue that was more of a soul sucking tiredness. I couldn't exercise. I can look and old pictures where I thought I was fat from lowest weight until the "highest" I was ok with, I looked normal and not fat at all...but that was due to family who are like bullies who would make remarks over my "belly being too big" when I was 140 pounds. I was still a size S then. I am not on any anti-depressants now and just decreasing and down to 15mg from 30mg now. I just take some for anxiety now and have been trying to meditate and facing my fears. I am out of the situation that caused the depression so hopefully I am okay. How are you now? I hope everything okay.

Thank you so much Molly for your video and channel. It´s great support from those of us who also deal with depression. I started complementing Venlafaxin with Mirtazapin just two weeks ago, so I still have to check on how I feel. Nevertheless, I´d like to share that I felt last week a huge amount of energy, as I used to feel when I was doing better, I was highly productive and hiper focused. Then my status changed to a more stable mood and have not been depressed. Have you experienced these ups and downs on Mirtazapin?

I hope this helps and I hope you all the best on your mental health journey. X

Never told me its an anti depressant or can cause weight gain. Or can cause fatigue. Ive already got chronic fatigue. Anyway. All 3 meds are CNS depressants. So Im sure Id be in bad shape if I took it. Any thoughts? Im also already over weight from being bed bound by the suboxone and adverse effects. I locked myself in my house for a year with the windows closed.

Really, they should suggest medications on a case by case basis, taking into account other medications and circumstances. From everything I know and have experienced about mirt, I think it would possibly not be the best for you, especially if it's just for sleep, there are other medications. But again, I'm not a Dr. I would deffo bring up all these concerns with the DR right them down so you don't forget. Hope this helps

I was a previous body builder and never been fat always a fit, muscular lad and im only in m 20's. but since starting this, I can just eat and eat. it's at nighttime, I wake up and just raid the fridge as im half asleep. I do hate the drowsiness as well but other than them two side affects its been great. i have to get it off for the weight gain though. only on 15mg and gonna split the tablet to 7.5mg and see if it helps. is there no other tablet that is the same mirtazapine just no hunger affects? hope you're good.

Hi thanks for sharing that, I don't think there is an exact match for match however I know some people who have had to come off mirt for the same reason but have had better luck with another anti depressant. I would definitely advice speaking to your prescribing Dr before minimising your dosage first and asking about other medications that have less of a hunger side effect to swap onto if needed. I hope you manage to find somthing that works just as well for you !! X

@@harshshah2812 hi! Yeah I’m fully of them now. So happy I did. The weight gain, sluggishness and overall zombie feeling was enough for me. They really helped over the 2 years but so glad I came off them! If you think you’re ready give it a go! I went from 15mg, 7.5mg for a month or so then fully came off. I do also now take magnum, l-theanine and a few other bits to help me. But feel much better for it. Hope you’re good 👍🏻

I do belive sole drugs are pushed far to much especially in countries were profit is over all else, but I do also appreciate there are some drugs that are needed for certain people and certain illnesses. If I am on no drugs I can't function or would be gone but I do think they need to provided carefully with clear warnings and understanding of possible side effects. I wish all the best for your son 💙

I had to take one just to keep from ending it. I have been tapering off for 4 mths and still had bad withdrawal symptoms. Good luck! You can do it but slowly!

I'm glad it helped you it's fantastic at what it can do for some, I have inface suffered " hardcore" anxiety, PTSD, insomnia OCD and sever depression. But if you think " biggest fear being weight gain" isn't an issue I imagine you haven't battled an eating disorder. The weight gain is never the real issue unfortunately people don't realise that and eating disorders are the biggest killer in mental health I'm pretty sure all the family's who lost loved ones to the illness would consider it a " hard core" illness.
