I am very fearful of gaining weight but have been prescribed apo - mirtazapine . too scared too take?

Mirtazapine: Weight gain occurs in about 12% of patients taking remeron (mirtazapine). A lesser number of patients lose weight while taking it. Because it can increase appetite, awareness is important to monitor what you eat. Eating healthyfully, in moderation and regular exercise would likely prevent weight gain if you are potentially one of that 12%.

If you need: The drug ;'your pcp agrees, take ;'watch your calorie intake, ;'get exercise..Fear of the very ew lbs., you might gain, is not what's important, my pt's have not had any major wt. Problems with the drug.
