Hi Angel. For me, Mirtazapine has allowed me to put on about 2 stone, but I was by no means small when this episode came on. I tend to find I get cravings in the evenings rather than it being a simple side effect. I was not eating at all before I was on this, so in some ways it helped. If you are quite controlled in how you eat normally, you should be able to control the Mirt' Munchies. The sleepy element of the drug really annoys me as I feel like I am being robbed of the evenings and mornings, but please give it time as there are definite improvements to mood. Keep well, and please let us know how you get on.
