No they are not: The older tricyclic antidepressants were associated with gerd. The newer ones however have not. Best wishes.

No: Mirtazepine in general/relatively has minimal gastric side effects. It is very good for patients who want to gain weight, sleep well and has minimal sexual side effects.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
