Lar,
Thanks for the post. From an earlier discussion we had, I have been using some niacinamide(sp?) on your recommendation and added some inositol. It seems to help, but I keep studying.Mirtazapine appears to be just right for me, except for weight gain. I stopped Paxil two years ago and lost the 25 lbs it put on me. Additionally, I find SSRI's "too much" for my problems (mild anxious depression which comes and goes along with sleepless agitation). So I thought I would try a low dose of mirtazapine and just not eat. However, from everything I read it looks like you gain weight from the mirtazapine per se, not an increased appetite.
Any thoughts on the cause for weight gain with mirtazapine?
Tx,
BobS.
