Just been prescribed it in addition to the fluoxetine (but going from 40mg to 20mg) and diazepam I am already on. Had a panic attack at the GP surgery and I think he feels at a bit of a loss about what to do about me.
Only I don't actually think I can take it having read about how quickly it causes weight gain. I have had a range of eating disorders and I just cannot cope with weight gain.
I am feeling really despairing and don;t know what to do. I can;t face calling the GP to explain and ask whether I should still take fluoxetine at 40mg or 20mg.
Anyone any experience of any of this? In particular has mirtazapine actually done anything miraculous for anyone that would make me some carefree fat person (nb - I see nothing wrong in people with bigger bodies but having had anxiety about my size all my life I see plenty wrong in my body getting bigger).
