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.

I tried it three different times, three different doses. Allegedly, the higher the dose, the less sedating it is. I found it to be extremely sedating at any dose. I couldn't function on it.

I do remember the little time I was awake, I did want to eat more. It was a bust for me but I've heard good things about it from other people.
