Hi, im 24 i go to the gym 5 times a week plus cycle and when i go to the gym i do weighta for strength training and then a 22 minute all out cardio blast however ive noticed my body has got bigger and when i say biggwr my bum and legs in perticular now being a boy its not somethubg id normally worry about but ive noticed ive started to gain body fat around my stomach... ive gained 11 pounds since starting the tablet so im now up to 14 stone 11..... however the tablet has helped loads mentally. I was suicidal and had an episode where i nearly killed myself. Im a fit lad at 24 years old and my strength has gone up with my weight which is great however im worried im gonna keep gaining the body fat even though i train like a mad man!! Should i visit my gp? As ive also noticed ive developed bitch tit (in body building term) nipples like females. Should i go back to my gp?

    I wouldn't do anything without discussing your symptoms with your doctors. From what you've said, if Mirtazapine has helped your mental health, and you've been so poorly, maybe you need it at the moment more than you need to tone your body. Don't do anything on your own. Seek guidance from your doctor.
