Mirtazapine and sugar cravings
 

I've been having a look around and this is very common apparently. But im obese and eating lots of sugar is not good. I'm trying not to but im getting really anxious when I don't have it and I get anxious when i do cos im so big . Is there anything like sugar that will stop the cravings but isn't so unhealthy.

Hey Minty,

I'm having similar problems on Mirtazapine. I'm always craving junky foods, it's awful. I was going to make a thread myself so I'm glad you did! I wish I had some useful advice, just wanted to let you know you aren't alone :)

I have this problem on mirtazapine. I'm trying to fill up on healthier foods so I'm not hungry enough for the sugary things.

Try fruit, like kiwi or pears, something that's a bit sweet. Sometimes the sweetness with help wane off the want for sugar.

Dried fruit is good, too.

How long have you been on it? I found that does tend to wear off. Or, at least, it did for me.

Been on it 6 weeks. Meds seem to take a while with me .I think I might just mention it to the doctor, because eating too much fruit leads to me having stomach problems. As well as the weight issue. I feel silly saying it but does it seem worth mentioning.

Hmm when I started on Mirtazapine the sugar cravings where awful
I was literally eating sugar out of the bag my cravings where so bad

I found that it wore off for me after about 3 weeks
I have no advice ,just wanted to say I can sympathise :-)

All i can suggest i going to the doctors about it and see what they say.

I'm on clozapine and I can't stop thinking about chocolate and pick 'n' mix!

I cure these cravings by eating ripe fruits; they're tasty and sweet but they're not unhealthy.
