A member asked:
Is trazadone similar to remeron (mirtazapine)? wanna change to trazadone because on remeron (mirtazapine) 45mg gained 70 pounds trouble falling asleep but not staying asleep

Kinda: They are similar in that they are both antidepressants. However they do work in different ways. This includes risk of weight gain which is much higher with remeron (mirtazapine).
