Mirtazapine
My doctor prescribed me Mirtazapine this week, she said it would be perfect for me because it's good for anxiety, not sleeping, etc. I told her it doesn't seem like a good drug for me due to weight gain - risperidone made me overweight and i still haven't been able to shift it :S, but she ignored this and gave it to me anyways :\
She said it would make me drowsy, but this doesn't seem normal! I fall asleep within an hour of taking it, and can easily stay asleep for 14 hours, how long will this last? Also it makes me feel so dopey - It's taken a long time to write this message, I feel like I can't really read what i'm typing, not sure how to describe it? Perhaps like i'm reading everything but nothing is going in.
Errr, and i'm hungry all the time! I don't know if it's just my imagination though, cause i know about the weight gain side effects, so i'm just tricking myself into thinking i'm hungry or? surely it couldn't have that effect so quickly?!
Anyways, does anyone have experience of this drug?
Has anyone found any antidepressants that work well with limited side effects? My doc seems fairly open to suggestions.
Thanks x
