Does Mirtazapine cause weight gain, this is my experience taking Mirtazapine and Venlafaxine and whether in my experience antidepressants cause weight gain.
I had so many questions when I was offered antidepressants I had so many questions but I couldn't really find many real people talking about their experiences and all the reviews online were terrifying, I was worried about Mirtazapine weight gain and what side effects I might get for mental health medication so I hope this helps anyone out there considering medication for there mental health but worried about side effects or possible weight gain.
Thanks for watching see you soon 👋

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and for your sincerity.
Thank you so much I hope it was helpful in some way 💗
This was helpful and encouraging, thank you. I too struggle with an ED and have gained 6kg on mirtazapine since May, which to me is tremendous. I have come close to stopping the mirt, but I have to keep reminding myself that I am stable and sleeping and even happy, and that those things are more important than being thin. Thank you again for sharing 🤎
I'm really glad it's helpful your mindset sounds exactly like mine and I know some days are hard but your right healthy and happy is always more important then weight 😭
What a great video hun . I've just found your channel and I relate so much too this .going to follow you on Instagram x
I was skinny, before Miratazapine, then from Mitazapine 20 kg, weight Gain, and the Insulin Resistance, thanks Miratazapine!!
It sucks so much that they have such bad side effects but can also be so effective with MH help. Do you still take them ?
@@Mental_health_an_Molly no, stoped after 6 months, but the weight never went down againe, since then i have ametsbolic syndrom, this was 17 years ago
Was it healthy weight or just fat? Did it improve bones and muscle mass
Same issue.
I've been on Mirtazapine 15 for my anxiety since May this year and I did put on some weight(I have hypothyroid too) but the weight gain part didn't scare me until November. I tried to taper off Mirtazapine but my insomnia and anxiety returns. My doc said to continue taking it and I'm just confused between whether to take this med and live my normal life (I've been going to the gym since 3 months now and now I'll be more careful about what I eat) or leave this med and go back to Insomnia and anxiety.
🥺😭
I think it just depends on how much of an impact the weight gain has on you compared to the positive impact the tablets have on you. I think if the weight starts to affect you more then might be worth speaking to your Dr but if the tablets help a lot with your mental health try to remember your mental health is so important x
@@Mental_health_an_Molly Yes.
Are you still taking Mirtazapine? And for how long are you planning to take it?
Thank you for making this video and thank you for a true review that i can relate too.
I'm really glad you felt you could relate that the whole point of my channel and thanks for taking the time to comment. If you ever have any other topics you would like covered just let me know 💗
Mirtazipine caused mumchies similar to marijuana or low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) for me if I stayed awake long enough after taking it. Same with quetiepine. Venlaflaxine caused a lower appetite but in my experience changed my metabolism/hormones and made me gain almost 2 stone in 6 months it was crazy. But it's such a shame, because it's been the only one that has worked for me agter trying to many.
Its hard when it actually helps isn't it and its so rare to find somthing that does.
Nice video but I would like to say something if anybody suffers with depression or anxiety or sleeping and out of character behaviour please go and get yourself checked for MTHFR ....
Is that the gene you mean?
@@j-uk2189 Yes MTHFR is a defect in 5 major genes it causes all sorts of problems and it's naturally fixed not with Anti-depressants
This has really helped me. Thank you xxx
Thank you 💕 I'm glad it has helped and I hope if your are taking medication it works for you.
I did, 20 kg!! Allways Hungry
It’s commonly used as a sleep aid, works like a dream for me. So take at night! I notice when I get off of it- within a week I lose 8lbs because of all the water retention. And don’t be surprised by excessive bawl movements for 5 days when you get off it. Now off of it I instantly noticed the the impulsive cravings went away.
I’m on mirtazapine it’s good for sleep but I’ve put on 40kg since I started taking it. Now I’m so heavy I struggle to exercise, I’m always tired and I’m really struggling in general. I’m so unfit I’m scared for my heart health. I’m scared to stop but will talk to doctor but when I get off this stuff I’m hoping I can get rid of the weight.
I totally get that you have to look after your health in the round physical and mental. Hopefully your doctor can offer you something else so you still get the help with the sleep without effecting your physical help.
Hello I Just srtated this meds 3 days ago. is it normal to feel soooo tired?
I take de Mirtazapine at night, get good but excesive sleep, and feel sleepy all day.
Yes 100% when you first start taking them even if taken at night correctly it's normal to feel tried at first while your body gets used to it, my partner once took one at night mistaking it for an antihistamine and he was zonked all the next day but I don't feel that any more because my body has built up tolerance to the sedative side. It helps me get to sleep but doesn't make me feel sleepy the next day anymore it just takes some time. Hope this helps x
Did you gain weight? Are you still on them? How did you come off them
hi, thanks for your video. Informative. Can I please ask what mg of the Mirtazapine you were first started on/currently take. Many thanks.
Hey thanks so much I hope it was helpful, I am on 15mg at the moment but I have also been on 30mg and 45mg in the past.
@@Mental_health_an_Molly cheers! I've been prescribed them today but my Doctor scared me a bit by saying I need to start them on Monday when he's back in work so I can call him once I start taking them. That sent my anxiety up! So I'm bricking it now to take them. 🙈. Worried they'll send me west. He's only prescribed me 7 days as well which has got me questioning tolerability concerns! Argh
Don't worry too much I was only on 7 day prescriptions for a while, part of it is just because like a lot of antidepressants some people can struggle with dark thoughts for the first few days so the Dr likes to just keep a close eye when you start and also like any medication side effects need to be watched but honestly I've been in the same place as you the worst thing you can do is google I can tell you that from experience 😂 also take them of a night not on the day as they can make you a little sleepy but for me that's a bonus.
@@Mental_health_an_Molly ah, thanks for this advice. Appreciate it. I'll stick to starting them on Monday as preferred by the Doc. Did you experience any agitation or increased anxiety on them at 15mg? I know everyone's experiences are different but I'm just curious to know. Anxiety has been a big factor in my life at the moment but because it's been so severe I've been getting down feeling like there's no escape from it. Hence why Mitrazipine has been suggested to me 🙂
I've started on 15 mg mirtazapine but felt drunk everyday they have upped them to 30 but I'm scared ov side effects so I've took 22 n a half is it a gud medication I've only started two weeks ago
Are you take them in the day or the night? I definitely understand the drunk feeling but your body does adjust but I definitely recommend taking it of a night helps you fall and stay asleep. I made the mistake of taking it mornings first and was like a zombie in the day. I really think its personal preference but for me it's been great!!
I take them at nite around 10 o clock do they help the anxiety cos I've got body weakness because ov anxiety
@@pamelabellingham5034 the definitely help my anxiety I also take propranolol for the physical side effects of my anxiety as well. I know when first taking them when getting up to go the loo or when waking up you can have a drunk like feeling but in my experience your body adjusts and I only really feel that now a little waking up in the night if I go the loo but not at all waking up in the morning.
@@Mental_health_an_Molly I've got body weakness n exhausted all the time cos ov anxiety will they help with that n start giving me energy back I'm crying every day cos all I want is my energy bk but doctors won't precribe me any other medications
@@pamelabellingham5034 I think of the medication works for you once your mental state improves your energy will also. Our physical systems are so connected to our mental health and I definitely have a lot more energy when I'm feeling better mentally it's can take 3-6 weeks for the medication to properly start taking effect though so it's important to be patient but I really hope they start fo work for you!!
I am taking mirtazapine 15 mg and venlafaxine 37.5mg combined before going to bed as i had insomnia and anxiety too . Although It had helped me to sleep but in return to lose focus and memory problems forcefully thinking or analyzing things and its cut off results in sleeping difficulties.Kindly share your experience whether you took both these medicines together in combination or seperately or did you experienced thinking dificulties or taking important decisions. I am a student of medicine and it is becoming very difficult for me to cope with depression so plz help through your experience tysm
I found talking venlafaxine in the morning, and mirtazapine at night gave me the best results because mirt helped me sleep, and venlafaxine helped me concentrate, I hope this helps. X
@@Mental_health_an_Molly what do you do? I mean you could work properly or when you were in studying state like i am in now how did you managed bcz i had tried venlafaxine in the morning too which dont let me to concentrate fully How you are doing now plz let me know i am going through much difficult time of my life as i am in first year of mbbs and my papers are in a month and i am not able to focus on studies while taking these if i stop i couldn't be able to sleep.As you said i had taken mirtazapine alone for sleeping aid too and venlafaxine in morning as you mentioned but it didn't seemed to work but i would try again for confirmation as you told and then will let you know about changes if you could help and keep in touch with me as you also have gone through these and have much experience compared to me as i am 20 thats why i preferred to ask you
Have you tried Clonipramine? That’s supposed to be good for OCD.
I haven't I don't believe unless it's known as something else, have you?
@@Mental_health_an_Molly it’s also called Anafranil. TCA antidepressant. It’s supposed to be the best for OCD, but I just starting taking it for anxiety. The start up side effects ie. fatigue - are kicking in 🙄
side effects can be the worst I always get nausea, first starting tablets but luckily our bodies mostly get used to it. I hope your fatigue doesn't last too long and the tablets help with the anxiety!!
Probably unlikely to be able to try this med in UK. Very conservative with prescribing here ._.
@@tpl6963 buy it online. That’s what I did
Are you still taking these tablets darling? X
I'm on mirtazapine 15 mg i want to gain weight but i have zero appetite from 4 days on it how long should I get appetite on it plz reply
Everybody is different so side effects can vary but I know it can take a week or so for your body to settle down to nre medication, I felt sick the first week or so of taking them before I gained an appetite x
😊opp 0
😊opp 0
Did you gain weight and get hungry?? When
@@Ohkeh640I started taking them again 6/7months ago, my appetite increased week 2, by week 6 I was steadily eating more & you could visibly see I gained weight. I feel like it took 6 months for it to fully work for me, today I’ve gained a bit over a stone. I recommend working out daily, even if it’s 5-10mins
How’d you get off mitrazipine
Wean off of it. I worked down to just 1/4 of a 15 mg pill
You have a goiter on your throat and that’s associated with thyroid
Thanks for this I'm actually having my thyroid investigated at the minute 🙈😂
