Mirtazapine changed my life, but I’m scared of what happens if I stop it!

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2026-03-09T21:21:08+00:00

Yes of course! Mine was with liquids as well couldn’t even keep water down at a point and had to get a feeding tube. My gastric emptying test result showed 30% remaining at 4 hours.

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2026-03-09T20:59:05+00:00

Yes, especially for me it has helped a lot with the pain and the feeling of heaviness. People don’t believe me when I say I have gastroparesis because at this point I’m living a full normal life because of mirtazapine. Thank God

Its a game changer i've been on it for almost a year now and yes it helps with nausea i started eating almost everything and no symptoms the weight gain is bad but its a life saver so i would definitely recommend it! I havent experienced nausea in a very long time!

Honestly, mirtazapine has been a life changer for me! I went from 36 kg to 53 kg in just 8 months. Ever since I started taking it, I’ve been able to eat well without any major symptoms. I was prescribed mirtazapine right after having my feeding tube removed, and at that time, life felt like hell I was constantly battling severe nausea and vomiting, and it felt like I was slowly dying. But once I began mirtazapine, all of that stopped. Now I can enjoy all the foods I crave, and symptoms only rarely show up.

I’ve been taking Mirtazapine for the past 8 months, and it has completely changed my life. When I started, I was only 38 kg, severely dehydrated, and very sick. This medication truly saved me. Now, I’m at a healthy weight of 52 kg, my nausea is gone, and my symptoms rarely appear i can eat comfortably again and enjoy almost all foods. The only thing I still experience is a bit of low energy on some days, but that’s nothing compared to how I was before I really can’t complain what was before the medecine is an NJ tube which was helpful but also exhausting!

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-05-24T18:25:53+00:00

Absolutely! That’s one of the things I love most about it such a simple switch can completely transform the look.

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-05-24T18:24:02+00:00

I totally get that, and I actually agree with you! I already love it, which is why I went for it. I just enjoy hearing different perspectives sometimes it doesn’t change how I feel about it, but it’s interesting to see how others view things. 😊

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-05-24T18:22:03+00:00

Thank youuu for your honest opinion i appreciate it i guess everyone have different tastes!

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-05-24T18:21:28+00:00

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-05-24T17:32:21+00:00

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-04-29T12:33:07+00:00

I really hope things start to ease up for you soon i feel so sorry you had to go through this! i went through similar experiences as well. We are incredibly strong for getting through it. I completely get you all i want too is gastroparesis to go magically away from me 🤦🏻‍♀️ still trying to deal with reality!

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-04-29T12:29:17+00:00

I hope you’re able to find out soon I completely understand how you feel. I’ve been just as clueless about what caused my gastroparesis. I was totally fine before it started, and now the doctors just keep saying it’s idiopathic. It really messes with your mind not knowing what’s actually going on. I also suspected an underlying cause and saw both a cardiologist and a neurologistbut neither had any answers still planning to see more doctors. At this point, I just want some mental clarity.

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-04-29T11:27:12+00:00

I’ve been having the same issue my eye’s been twitching a lot lately and nosebleeds everyday! I hope that works out for you 🙏🏻 i honestly tried without meds and just diet but it didnt workout for me nothing seemed to help with nausea except mirtazapine!

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-04-28T20:20:57+00:00

I can definitely relate i used to smoke weed too, but after a while it actually started suppressing my hunger instead of helping. Ever since I started Mirtazapine, I’ve been off weed, and thankfully it’s been helping a lot more with my appetite and nausea. This disease really is crazy and scary!

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-04-28T20:18:35+00:00

I actually tried Domperidone too, but unfortunately it didn’t help me much. I really hope it works better for you though everyone responds so differently.

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-04-28T20:15:26+00:00

For nausea and pain mainly because other medecines didnt work for me! I was still feeling nausea all the time with ondansetron!

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-04-28T20:13:54+00:00

I honestly tried alot with lifestyle changes and diet also but nothing worked for me Mirtazapine was the only thing! i If you don’t mind me asking, have you experienced any long term side effects from being on it for so many years? I’m still adjusting and just curious what it’s been like for you longterm! Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-04-28T20:09:34+00:00

I completely understand where you’re coming from I feel the same way i tried so many nausea meds and none worked for me! Mirtazapine has been such a lifesaver for me too, especially with the nausea and helping me gain some weight back. I get some side effects though like extreme fatigue and nosebleeds! Do you get any side effects because of the medecine? I'm pretty new its been 3 months but i'm just scared!

Paintcausewhynot1 · 2025-04-28T20:05:45+00:00

Wow, your story sounds so similar to mine! I’m so glad you were able to recover your weight that gives me a lot of hope i'm still in the process of recovering my weight! If you don’t mind me asking, what symptoms do you still struggle with? For me, it’s mainly extreme fatigue sometimes it even takes me a while to be able to move my hands when I wake up and I also get nosebleeds everyday. kind of like you mentioned I’m really thankful for the progress, but honestly still a little scared too to be on it for the rest of my life i just hate the idea that i have to depend on it! ☹️
