In reply to Any experiences on Mirtazapine (Zispin)???, posted by NikkiT2 on February 27, 2003, at 11:59:13
I don't want to discourage you, so keep in mind that every person responds differently to medications...
I was on mirtazapine for 6 weeks...it was AWFUL...I was in a study for OCD, and it really did not help me at all...in fact, it brought on a HUGE depression for me. I gained 10% of my body weight in just a month on it, and I am a naturally thin person who does NOT gain weight easily (and I haven't really gained weight on any other meds,I might add). I couldn't wear ANY of my pants, only one skirt that had an elastic waistband. It also made me sleep about 14 hours a day...I was always extremely tired and sedated, unmotivated and irritable.
I believe that it might work for some, but for me it was terrible. Just wanted to give you my experience.
