Mirtazapine withdrawal and weight loss

Posted , 6 users are following.

hi I stopped 15mg mirtazapine cold turkey a week ago. I feel great except the dread that the symptoms will be kicking in soon . my gp says I should not suffer as I'm taking citalopram . has anyone been lucky enough not to get withdrawal symptoms? also how long has peoples weight took to come off? thanks in advance

    I lost 9 pounds in 10 days after quitting mirtazapine eventhought i haven't changed my diet or amount of physical activity. I have constant need to pee after quitting mirtazapine maybe its because the fluids that mirtazapine accumulated in to me are now leaving my body. I believe that this medicine changes my body metabolism in bad way..

      Mirtazapine helped me sleep, but i have sexual problems with it.

      That is awful ! !.. Before, without it, i wanted sex with girlfriends

      5-6 times a week... not now and that depresses me.. I don't know

      what to do..... plus, my mouth is dry. Less saliva. I think many of these

      so-called medications help in some way but the side effects are

      intolerable form any people. I wonder if Mirt dampens sensual desire

      in most every woman ? ? ? ?
