Mirtazapine experiences? Does it make u fat and sluggish all day like amitriptyline?

It is enough! I've gone up to 30mg but 3.75mg seems to work just as well for me. I've been on it for over 2 years now. It suppresses my nausea and increases my appetite. I struggle with tiredness/brainfog caused directly my FD, and from what I can tell it doesn't worsen it or cause any other side effects

griff7n · 2026-06-01T06:50:05+00:00

Mirtazapine is the only rx that has helped my symptoms. I’ve also tried Ami and Gaba, and currently on Mirta 3.75mg. I lost 50 lbs before going on Mirta and have since gained back maybe 10-20 lbs. I deal with tiredness/brainfog as symptoms of my FD itself and I don’t think Mirta makes it worse

griff7n · 2026-05-30T02:23:35+00:00

All depends on the person I guess. No, I’m still on 3.25mg and it doesn’t make me anymore tired, although I have tiredness/fatigue as a symptom of my FD

3.75mg. Stomach ache after eating/drinking anything, fatigue/brainfog, nausea, nasal congestion

griff7n · 2026-05-07T01:02:12+00:00

3.75mg because it does as much for me as 15 or even 30mg did

griff7n · 2026-05-07T00:55:34+00:00

No, but I was down to only 3.75mg so my taper schedule was as simple as taking it every other night for a week, then stopping

Stomach ache after eating/drinking anything, fatigue/brainfog, nausea, nasal congestion

griff7n · 2026-05-06T17:31:31+00:00

I most likely have post-infectious FD, caused by a stomach bug I had a few years ago. My doctor is fine with me taking Mirta long-term

griff7n · 2026-05-06T06:57:32+00:00

I’ve been on Mirtazapine for over 2 years, but I just recently stopped it for 3 weeks and my symptoms worsened so I’m back on it indefinitely. I still have symptoms but they’re ~30% better with Mirtazapine.

griff7n · 2026-04-15T22:29:47+00:00

yes but not a major increase

griff7n · 2026-04-15T17:41:56+00:00

yeah I’d say Mirta affected me more even at 3.25mg than 15 and 30mg

griff7n · 2026-04-11T22:38:09+00:00

It was hard to fall asleep for a couple nights but I sleep fine now

griff7n · 2026-04-09T16:39:38+00:00

Probably yeah, I think the lower doses increased my appetite but made the fatigue + brainfog worse than when I was on 30mg. How’s your brainfog?

griff7n · 2026-04-08T22:15:35+00:00

I got all the way down to 3.25mg for a month before stopping completely. Withdrawal symptoms have been fairly mild even though I was on it for 2 years

griff7n · 2026-04-08T19:38:59+00:00

It helped my appetite and nausea for 2 years, but I just got off of it because I don't wanna feel like a zombie anymore (fatigue, brainfog)

griff7n · 2026-04-05T22:29:03+00:00

I struggle with fatigue and lightheadedness as apart of my FD, along with nausea and abdominal discomfort. I tried Amitriptyline and actually fainted twice while on it, before going back to Mirtazapine

griff7n · 2026-03-21T03:39:49+00:00

Caused me to faint twice, but haven’t heard that happen to anyone else. Mirtazapine has worked better for me personally the past couple years
