Hi dillydally1, and welcome to the forum. Mirtazapine can cause increased appetite and weight gain. Amitriptyline can also cause increased appetite and weight gain[and sometimes it can cause weight loss]. If you are concerned about side effects of medication, please see your GP. Try to eat a healthy diet and do some suitable exercise, if you are able to. Your practice nurse will be able to give you some advice about diet and you may also like to have a look at The Eatwell Guide on NHS Choices nhs.uk/livewell/Goodfood/Pa.... I hope this is helpful to you. Please stay on this supportive forum where other members will be along to offer some help and advice. Thank you and best wishes.
