anger and weight gain on mertazapine
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi there, I have been on mertazapine for 4 months now, I was 11st when I started them I am now nearly 14st,, I exercise a lot and still can't shift the weight, I am also very angry all the time, sometimes I feel I could punch someone, I have 3 young kids and I want to go back to being the 'normal' mum I was before these, I was on 40mg of citalipram for 7 years no side affects at all, but they stopped working completely, any suggestions on anti depressants that don't cause weight gain !!!!! Rant over thanks LOL x

hi, i know this is a very late comment! But i just wanted to check whether or not the "carb blocker" strategy really does work! im surprised i havent seen anyone else talk about this!
But i will definitely give it a go!

I have been on Mirt' since last September, gained about a stone through feeling ravenous and unable to resist. However, I feel I am "on it" now ... me & Mirt' & eating stodge are no more ... I have come to the conclusion that if I eat 3 meals a day and a fairly healthy snack in between, say mid morning and mid afternoon (with a treat at night !) I can control the craving/sometimes nausea when hungry. It's taken me over 7 months to put on the weight, so am trying to be sensible and lose is slowly. Mirt' has worked well for me, my biggest problem initially was anxiety which kept me awake at night, therefore causing severe sleep deprivation was like torture - I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I was on Citalopram (20mg) & Mirt' (15 mg) to begin with which worked well, now just the Mirt'.
I wish you well and hope the anger will subside; also I wonder if it's possible for you that the change in diet could be causing the anger, for me too much sugar makes me hot flush & feel wound.
Best wishes.
