I was on them years ago and all I did was eat and sleep and put weight on. I'm now back on my citalopram. I can't remember dosage but it was high.

Yes I came off cipramil and onto mirtazapine the way you describe. I didn't have any problems in swopping over. Mirtazapine will help you sleep. I haven't experienced any weight gain or other side effects.

Mirtazepine is a good drug but gives drowsiness in the lower doses up to 30mg and also often weight gain.

I know about mirtazipine. They made me ravenous with hunger. I put so much weight on ( I've always been very slim so was ok with that side of it for a while)

then it got so bad people began to ask if I was pregnant!!! I can't conceive so that was quite hard to deal with. Then came the vivid nightmares. It felt like I was reliving a traumatic event in my life night after night... Yes they are great for helping you sleep.. maybe you will be fine .This is my experience. Must also say that every time I try to stop Has been awful! Sorry about the negative reply .Just my experience.

All the best x I hope you find something that helps .Maybe mirtazipine are the ones for you .Everyone is going to have different reactions x x .

Best wishes M z
