Mirtazapine causing overeating, worried about health

I experienced the same thing especially at the lower doses (7.5 and 15 mg). When I got up to 30 mg my appetite went back to normal, but I think I'm still gaining weight. I was always at a healthy weight and now I'm not, which is frustrating. And it seems like it's still increasing, even though I'm not eating that much. Did your weight go back to normal?

Unfortunately what you're describing is a common side effect of this medication. If you need to stay on the med, try replacing some of the foods you're eating with healthier choices. It helps to have healthier foods and snacks on hand also. Healthier grains, vegetables and fruit. Some people have good results drinking a full glass of water or an apple before a meal or when they are feeling hungry again. Hope this is helpful. Life can be hard enough without having to take meds that increase your appetite. ❤️

Hey!! For me, I noticed the same. Mainly because mirtazapine caused me to feel less stressed, and my contestant stress is what made me lose my appetite. Just embrace it! Is this something new? If it is, your body will adapt over time to the new found appetite you have and it'll settle down over time. Your body probably isn't used to having such an appetite so it's taking advtnage of it.
