Anyone Taking Mirtazapine for Sleep?

Thank you!
Has your appetite increased? I understand weight gain can be an issue.
Increased body fat exacerbates depression and I don’t need that.
Thank you again.

My doctor just switched me from Trazodone to Mirtazapine because of loss of appetite and weight. I am not overweight and 80 years old, in good health.
@dfb I was hoping that it would help me to gain weight, as I have lost a lot due to my Parkinson’s, but it made me lose more and didn’t help my sleep.

Not much increase in appetite, but I have gained some weight. About 5 lbs over ~ 2 months.
From what I’ve read I think it has something to do with how certain fats are metabolized (don’t quote me; I’m not a doc). I’ve cut back on simple carbs, sugar & portion size to help combat it.
