Mixing tabs

[Dibbles56]

My doc wants me to take mirtazapine with venlafaxine I wondered is there anyone else out there that take both of these together and are they safe together

I take both of those. I've been taking venlafaxine for a while, and I started the mirtazapine just a few months ago. I actually have noticed a bit of an improvement in mood and a definite improvement in sleep. It did, however, make me gain a lot of weight, and it gave me nausea and a low mood for the first couple of weeks.

Thankyou for reply Winnie the dog it makes me feel a bit better knowing that someone takes the same thing and how they have coped it sounds like I will have to keep an eye on what I eat unless it’s the tabs that make you gain weight

Hi was on both of them and gained lots of wait when I hardly eat anything just in venlaflaxin now

I was in Mirtazapine and had to come off it after just 2 weeks as it made me gain so much weight. I’m on Venlafaxine 75mg and that keeps me ticking over
