A member asked:
Is it normal to lose weight after stopping mirtazapine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is certainly normal to gain weight on Mirtazapine , and many people hope to lose it again after they come off it. Mirtazapine strongly stimulates appetite in many patients, so it is often helpful in treating elderly depressed patients who are losing too much weight. Talk to your doctor if your weight loss is a problem.
