Does remeron cause weight gain?

Yes, it is very famous for giving you major food cravings, especially for sweets! 🍰 But don't worry too much, just keep healthy snacks like roasted makhana and fruits nearby to munch on! Stay happy! ✨

I was on Remeron for six months and gained 8 kgs because it made me constantly hungry, especially at night. Once I got my mental health back on track, I slowly worked with my doctor to taper off and managed to lose the weight through regular gym sessions.

Yes, weight gain and increased appetite are very common side effects of Remeron (Mirtazapine).

I completely understand how stressful it is to choose between your mental peace and worrying about weight gain. It feels like a double-edged sword. Just know that your mental well-being is the top priority right now, and weight can always be managed later.
