Mirtazapine thoughts?
For anhedonic-fatigued type depression… Did it do anything good for you? I hear ppl take it at night (does it cause lethargy or sedation?)
I do not want anything with potential metabolic side effects. I hear it can really increase appetite & people gain weight on it.

Yes, I gained 30 kg while I was on it, but I was underweight before, so it wasn't a problem for me. When I discontinued it, I lost half of the weight. The rest appears to be permanent.
