Hi everyone, I wanted to know how others got along with mirtazapine and what your experience was like. I’ll try briefly explain my situation, but all experiences and situations are appreciated.

I’m 21 years old and have been struggling with emetophobia and OCD surrounding food. I’m very nervous about things that could potentially make me sick. I also struggle with early fullness, as I worry that eating too much will make me vomit / nauseous. Same with drinking.

I had tried sertraline but had a bad experience with vomiting, so my clinician is trying me with a non SSRI. The idea is that mirtazapine (15mg) will make me hungry and help with the OCD. I know mirtazapine can be very sedating, but I already sleep well and concerned about potential insomnia when I get used or taper off these antidepressants.

Hi, I just wanted to see how other people reacted to Mirtazapine. I’ll try to explain my situation.

I’m female, 21. I tried sertraline but just kept vomiting on sertraline, so my clinician made the swap to a non SSRI which was Mirtazapine (15mg). I have emetophobia and OCD and struggle with early satiety because of my anxieties. The idea was to take Mirtazapine in hopes it would combat the anxiety, OCD and help with appetite. My clinician also said it has anti nausea properties, but I am still really nervous about taking these due to experience with sertraline and my emetophobia. I know Mirtazapine is mainly used for MDD and has strong sedation. I already sleep like an absolute log and normally take naps in the day.

I would appreciate to hear everybody’s experiences on Mirtazapine, even if your reasons for taking it are unrelated to mine and if anybody has taken it for emetophobia.
