I still cant gain weight on mirtazapine

I have been on 30G for 1.5 years now, and 6 momths before I was on the 15G

For me personally I was very excited at the opportunity to finally gain some weight, as well as having my insomnia cured.

Ive always been a skinny guy, im 23 , 61kg and about 5"6 in height (I also am a regular marijuana user) Ive also always had an eating disorder, that i could never quite pinpoint what it actually was, but when I started mirtazapine, It was like waking up as a new person. I had an appetite that wouldnt end and I managed to gain a minimal amount of weight, which even a tiny bit was enough for me.

But around 3 months in to the 15g, it just stopped one day.

Id only be hungry the hour after taking it, I wouldnt eat in the mornings, barely in the evenings. My main time to eat was right before bed.

After the 30g, things stayed the same, I still couldnt feel this ravenous hunger that everybody claims to feel.

Years on, to this day I struggle to eat anything, and the only time it is appetising is always the hour after taking.

I personally think its the mirtazapine and weed combo over the years thats completely f'd my appetite up. I even feel nauseous waking up most days which is a more recent thing.

My main problem is that I smoke for sleeping reasons, I cant handle the dreams my brain makes so I smoke to never dream and sleep well.

I really dont know my reason for posting this, my own research has led me to believe im the only one who has this reaction to the stuff, I just hope someone else here understands and hopefully you guys have some coping mechanisms for it. Because I just want to actually enjoy eating, and have it not be such a burden on my life.
