depression
"I have been taking 15mg at night before bed for 7 months now for anxiety, depression, weight loss due to a c.diff. infection (antibiotics). Mirtazapine, along with 20mg of fluoxetine has literally saved my life. I had been on only SSRIs before, but after this last bout, nothing was working. I had lost 25lbs and could not sleep at night, was crying all day, not eating, pacing all night, and wanted to crawl in a hole. I have gained the 25lbs back (and then some), have a ravenous appetite all day long, but it subsides when I exercise regularly. I sleep through the night and wake up refreshed. My partner is happy, too (no sexual side effects). Love this medicine."
