@ cmd - Are you a doctor? Honestly, I am asking you because what the specialist gave me the first time was a higher dose. I noticed that I was terribly hungry all the time and that I had started putting on a lot of weight (which bothered me a lot since I have been slender my entire life and I found it hard to deal with this extra weight). I thought it was a strange concidence and I was the one to tell the doctor that I did not want to use it anymore because I believed Mirtazapine was the cause of my weight gain.
