It varies depending: It varies depending on the individual's metabolic responses to the medication. Since a higher dose can make you less sleepy, and a lower dose more sleepy in certain people, the same holds true for weight gain. You simply have to be your own test subject on this one. Good luck to you. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Remeron (mirtazapine) weight gain: Remeron (mirtazapine) is associated with weight gain, and the higher the dose the more likely it is that you may experience any side effect, including weight gain. The reasons for weight gain are several, but many on Remeron (mirtazapine) report a voracious appetite. You may benefit from proactively watching your calories.
