Hello,

I've been prescribed Mirtazapine 15mg for anxiety but also to help with Insomnia and not sleeping. Previously I was using melatonin to treat my insomnia. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take both as the GP acknowledged I was on Melatonin but then suggested this could be better at tackling the anxiety and sleep issue.

My main question though is the side effects talk about weight gain.

Am I right in saying that as long as I am careful, watch my diet and track my calories, I won't gain weight?

I already struggle with maintaining my weight, I'm constantly trading 5lbs (which I suppose is probably normal for a lot of people)

So yeah, I suppose I want to know as long as I track my calories, I should be okay?
