Since you haven’t been on it long, let your doctor know you want to stop it. I could not take mirtazapine because it made me so hungry and I do not want to gain more weight. They tried different medications and combinations that didn’t work for me for over a year. I finally landed on a combination of Sertraline and Bupropion that works some for my major depression.
What other medications have you tried?

I meant to mention I only took one pill of mirtazapine and immediately stopped since the hunger symptoms started immediately and I got scared. Since you haven’t been on it about a month, you will want to gradually wean off it. It is ideal to work with your doctor but you may be able to do it yourself.
