Anyone on Mirtazapine that have Hashimoto’s

[Kisca]

Hello 👋 lovely members ,

Just wondering anyone out there on Mirtazapine who have Hashimotos - how have you found it ? Has it had an adverse effect on thyroid ? Any positive stories too 🙏

Like many on here working towards healing ❤️‍🩹 I’m also on Armour but not optimal yet - having bloods done next week .

Has Mirtazapine helped you with depressive side of things ?

With thanks 🙏

I have been on it for a few years, I take to help with sleep problems. Not had any issues. But can’t comment regarding depressive issues.

Bless you thank you 🙏

I started it a few weeks ago…..doing ok except munchies and weird dreams 🤣

Did hunger subside after a while ? X

[Bollieforme in reply to Kisca]

Yes it gives you the munchies! I’d say that doesn’t go away sadly! We have enough on with dealing with the thyroid! All the best to you x

hello,

I have been on it for about two month - mainly because of anxiety and sleep issues.

I took half a pill (7.5mg) before sleep.

When I had all my thyroid levels right, I felt like I don’t need it any more.

But even with this small dose I had some issues coming off of it…I had to do it slowly. But I guess it was all in my head…😵‍💫

Bless you , I’m on 15mg , I have complex trauma from bereavements etc . I think that’s what triggered my Hashi’s - stress 🙈

It’s a minefield isn’t it - side effects are most definitely real coming off them - I agree slow and steady x

Thank you 🙏 so much for your response ❤️‍🩹

Hi, I was on it very briefly to help with sleep but I had adverse reaction to it. My dreams were wild too but they made me feel terrible, I had to take a quarter of a 15 mg tablet in the end because I felt so bad but they actually made me feel depressed which can sometimes happen. My gp warned me that they can make you hungry and therefore put on weight . I decided to come off them, I have enough stress trying to sort my thyroxine out but I hope you do well on them .
