Side effects: Noted side effects of both listed medications include possible changes in weight and may also be associated with increased appetite. Recommend discussing with the prescribing provider to monitor weight and determine cost/benefit of the medication regimen. It might also be of benefit to evaluate current dietary practices and activity level with the prescribing provider and examine options.

Side effects: You are right. Unfortunately both medications, most of all the Remeron (mirtazapine) (Mirtazepine) are known for undesirable tendency to gain weight as a side effect. Diet and exercising might work, but sometimes they don't. It is more likely if a nutritionist provides some guidelines. On the other hand, depending on the nature and severity of your condition,your doctor might offer alterntive & effective meds.
