Dear Anjana,
Mirtazapine is a sedating antidepressant. Good to know that your sleep improved. Every drug causes some damage to the body. You need to tolerate them for the benefit that you will be getting by taking it. Think of the harm caused to your body due to depression and not sleeping.

Dear , anxiety disorder is a disorder and not a disease. You should understand the eifference between mental disorder and mental disease. Mental diseases are treated with medicines and mental disorders are treated with other holistic methods. I need to have more information so that I can help you wean off the medicines. Online counseling, psychotherapy and life style changes should help you. Post a detailed private question to me. I will help you manage your anxiety disorder. Take care.

Weight gain is associated with many factors. Though some studies have shown that mirtazapine can lead to weight gain, it needs more research and evidence. Lowering of dose without your doctor's prescription is not advisable. Follow good eating habits and adequate intake of water to boost your metabolism and achieve desirable weight.

It depends on the improvement of your symptoms for which you are taking mirtazapine and its duration. Better option can be, try to avoid taking medicine late night if it is so. Take it latest by 8.30 pm. If still drowsyness persist visit your doctor who prescribed you or whomever you have consulted.

Dear Lybrate user, do not google your symptom, because it will exaggerate the side effects and information is also not authentic. Study of medicine is different. If your body is not adaptive to the combination of these two. Then the good way is to report your side effects to the current psychiatrist. They will change the medication or dose. Increase your communication with your psychiatrist at initial level, report the issues if you are facing. The things shown in this song is also truth upto so...more

Dear Harish,
i don't understand your question clearly. But i can understand your doctor's struggle to help you with combination of antidepressants. Your recent symptoms are not due to mirtazapine. Either they are due to withdrawal of quetiapine or your own disorder recurring at this time again. However please discuss clearly with your doctor your concerns.

Hi. In my opinion mirtazapine is an antidepressant. It may or may not help in IBS. I never prescribe it for IBS. Your symptoms as you told may be related to drug withdrawal. Regarding stopping the drug you should consult the doctor who advised it. For IBS I can help you with few medications and lifestyle changes. Avoid unnecessary stress and anxiety.
Sleep properly, drink adequate water. Avoid spicy oily and outside food.
No smoking/alcohol/tobacco etc. Eat more of green vegetables and f...more

You can continue the same for long time under psychiatrist supervision. Frequent blood tests are needed to monitor the side effects and efficacy. All the best.
