A member asked:

I am on 30mg remeron (mirtazapine).i have gained weight despite dieting and exercising.what can i do to reduce weight. should i give them up thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Remeron (mirtazapine): I have just reviewed some information about Remeron (mirtazapine) and am not comfortable that this should be taken regularly. I suggest you don't take any for now and see what happens to your weight. Regarding your anxiety and headache I strongly recommend you get an appointment to see a Psychologist Please keep me informed.
