I've just been prescribed mirtazapine for depression and anxiety, and I'm pretty worried to see that almost everyone gains weight on it. I could not handle this as most of my issues are around my body image and I have recently lost some weight and was feeling a bit more positive. The only thing that is preventing my from chucking them out is that I have been on 10mg of amitriptyline (also apparently renowned for weight gain) for a couple of months and that didn't make me gain. Does anyone else have any positive experiences of these drugs? Thanks
