Quetiapine or Mirtazapine causing weight gain

[Ben1505]

Hi, I take 1 quetiapine tablet and 1 mirtazapine tablet a day. I’ve experienced some mild weight gain after starting g doing this. Which one of the two drugs is likely to be causing this?

It will probably be matazapine because its well known for weight gain. I've been on it years and its the only medication that has helped my anxiety and I've tried nearly everything. I've put loads of weight on since being on them but I need to increase my exercise to really and stop eating chocolate. Matazapine give me an appetite for sweet things about hour after taking them. Hope this helps.

Definitely Mirtazapine !
