For Major Depressive Disorder: “I took Remeron 30mg for about a year and a half. It helped my depression without aggravating my anxiety, which is something no other antidepressant I tried was able to do. However, I gained 40 pounds in a year, and got acne… EVERYWHERE… literally hundreds of blemishes all over my face and body. I am pushing 50, well past the age where acne would usually be a concern. I weaned myself off and my skin cleared up completely. Still struggling with the weight, though.”

For Insomnia: “Do not use because all hell breaks loose in your head with bizarre dreams. You will fall asleep for a couple hours and wake up with the thought what the hell just happened. You put on weight so after a week I stopped taking them.”

For Depression: “This AD is a godsend for depression and insomnia. I had horrible side effects on venlafaxine and citalopram. Mirtazapine was very easy for me to tolerate, however. I started to finally sleep again from the first night, and my depression starting to improve within the first couple weeks. The only negative effect I experienced was weight gain. I took mirtazapine for about a year (1 month at 15mg, 11 months at 30mg) and gained about 20 pounds in that time – and I’m quite small and have never really gained weight before. To be honest though I wasn’t really watching what I ate or exercising regularly. Even so, this AD was so effective for me and so easy to tolerate that the benefits far outweighed the extra pounds, at least for me. And they came off with very little effort when I tapered off the medication.”

For Depression: “I went on mirtazepine after many years of ever worsening depression, anxiety and insomnia. I am generally against taking pills for psychological conditions, but nothing worked thus far. I was on 15mg a day. I managed to stick it out for two weeks and then had to quit; in that short time it nearly destroyed me: The sedative effect heightened my anxiety and death-pangs that cause my insomnia, partly because it interfered severely with my heart rate ( I have a pacemaker). Additionally I was not able to do any activity during the day as I was completely wiped out. I had to be signed off from work as I couldn’t focus mentally on anything and I had to stop all forms of physical activity. Sex life, forget about it. Worst of all, my depression increased to levels I couldn’t handle. I felt extreme and constant rage, sadness, total hopelessness and self-hatred. Also increased stress, anxiety, irritation, paranoia and angst.”
