"I tried Mirtazapine after struggling with depression and more recently (and prominently) anxiety. I've been on it for roughly 1 year. I really can't tell if it's done anything major. I had a few brief moments of contentment, which made me think maybe it was working. But most of the time I don't notice a difference. It has helped me sleep, but only when anxiety/depression isn't hitting super hard."

"This drug really helps with anxiety, but not so much with depression. I want to go off it, because I am now binge eating, a problem I never had before. If you suffer with severe anxiety, it may be worth a try. Otherwise stay away."

"Within 15 mins of taking it (at night) without fail, I became extremely hungry. Now, after three months of taking it, I can recognize it. I've gained weight because this is also used as an appetite stimulant. I don't eat now after I take it."

"I have tried many antidepressants. I love Remeron. I feel happy. Side effect always hunger. But it has done amazing things for me. My family and friends have noticed. I have been on 30 mg for 6 weeks."

"This medicine completely wipes me out. All it does is makes me sleep. I can sleep over 24 hours straight when I take this. Does nothing for depression because it makes me sleepy and can’t do anything anyways when you’re sleepy."
