hi. im after some others experience, i was on mirtazapine for anxiety for 2 and a half years i ended up putting on some weight, and was also pregnant in that time and put on close to 20kilo. i decided to start coming off them as i felt like i was ready, i came off them slowly as advised by my GP everything went well except the major weight loss in 4 months iv lose 18 kilos i went to the dr who was concerned iv lost so much in such a short time unintentionally. i was sent off for blood tests which came back fine. the only thing remaining to do is get a papsmear, obviously the look on the doctors face gave me a shock like it wasnt normal to lose so much. and i know the big C causes major weight loss and the anxiety of it is just messing with me. has anybody else lost so much weight after mirtazapine. i have to restrain myself from taking them again to see if i gain weight again just to ease my mind how much it can effect your weight. the only the dr wants to do is just monitor my weight loss. thank you

    Pregnancy causes temporary weight gain. Go to the gym if you can. Exercise your body and you will naturally lose weight. Medication or not.
