Tracy:
I don't remember where/how I got the article...must have just done some kind of search. I cut and pasted several bits and pieces that I wanted to take to my pdoc. Following is the 'bit' that I cut for my doctor...sorry, I have no recollection where it might be...but it IS quoting Stahl.
"My own strategy for mitigating mirtazapine weight gain is to monitor it closely by weighing patients and adding SSRIs, venlafaxine, or occasionally diethylpropion, phentermine, or pramipexole. Nevertheless it remains a vexing problem for some patients."
Hope this little bit helps.
Peace,
Jane
