im on mirtazipine and was taking 30mg
i mentioned to my pdoc that this was making me put on weight. i put on 11lbs in 3 months he said the higher the doseage the bigger the risk so hes just reduced me down to 15mg. I have other probs on this drug too - excessive sleepiness (altho i now take it at night) and bad joint pain. so far the reduced doesage is improving the joint pain massively. i dont know how im going to fair on reduced doseage but only time will tell that - its only been a week
