I never got used Mirtazapine, the hunger, sedation, feeling spaced and very bad memory. I never put on weight being a natual ectomorph but even I put on a just under a stone in a month.

I definately got all of those symptoms but had them also when I forgot meds for 3 days so took it as a withdrawal system and persevered with the new tablets. It took a week to get used to the new dose with the first 3-4 days being the worse. Luckily I have stopped putting on the weight at a stone and am starting to go to the gym as I have an exercise referral from my doctor as well. I am off work still though so not sure how I will cope with work on these meds. Sometimes I find driving a spaced out experience. I need to give it another month or so to see the outcome but my mood is much more sedate - I was a very emotional person. All the best for the route you go down
