Hi....
So I have been taking Mirtazapine for the past couple of months, started on 15mg, now on 30mg at night. I just wanted to see if anyone else takes this? And if so, do you/did you experience increased appetite/weight gain and/or feeling like a zombie in the morning and really struggling to get up??
