depression
"I am on sertraline 100mg and 30mg of mirtazapine. As soon as I started taking it it helped immediately- it really helped with my depression but I now need to sleep around 11 hours a night - and as a result I am now registered as disabled with my university. I don't so much mind the additional sleep - people understand. However the weight gain is harsh.... I have been on it about a year and I have put on about a stone. I now ( when I'm at home) eat very healthily and the weight has started to go- but now I have been on holiday for 2 weeks and I have definitely put weight back on. But for me it is so effective with my depression - when I have sufficient sleep- I will just have to learn to deal with it and change my diet while I'm on this!"
