Not an AIBU but I've never posted anywhere else. ..
Anyone else been on Mirtazapine and gained weight?
I'm on it as an antidepressant but realised that whilst away for a week mid June I gained weight, which I always do on holiday especially as we eat healthy normally.
Showed a gain of almost a stone on our return (never gained that much even going 2 weeks all inclusive) but thought what goes on quick comes off quicker too, or at least some of it, as in it's not possible to really gain a stone in a week, so expected at least a few pounds/bloating to go reasonably soon after getting back to healthy eating.
Back on healthy eating now for almost 3 weeks, and have started running again and not a single pound has budged, in fact I'm a couple of pound heavier than when I got back.
I'm finding it really disheartening especially as I'd been losing weight steadily before going away (0.5-1lb a week).
I'm now the heaviest I've ever been (albeit just over a healthy bmi) and it's really getting me down
I have literally nothing that fits and so I feel fat and uncomfortable in this weather, and that makes me struggle to feel motivated especially as I'm in a low mood most of the time anyway hence the meds
Anyone else got advice on how to deal with this or success stories about changing meds?
I've been put on these as sertraline didn't seem to be helping any more.
