A member asked:

How can you relieve fluid retention that is caused by the anti depressant mirtazapine? i'm on a diet but scales not changing due to all the fluid.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Limit salt: Intake ; follow a prescribed diet. The pill does not take the weight off you, ; keep it off. Dieting with caloric counting does>.
