Default Mirtazapine

I've been taking Mirt for about 2 years. I gained over a stone in a month to start with; ravenously hungry about 30 mins after taking it. It replaced sleeping pills. I need help sleeping but was on Zolpedum for 14 years and having probs I've also taken other anti ds with no weight gain. I'm not the wreck I sound to be but accept that my depression and sleep probs have to be managed, I love my job.
My worry is that my joints are bad and that being overweight is making them worse.I've been tested for rheumatoid arthritus Negative. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue a few years ago, which included joint pain,I was slim then.
I feel that I need to try harder The Mirt shouldn't be an excuse or my age. I've always watched my weight but scarily unfit now.I think I kind of gave up on love when my last relationship failed but a side of me still cares about myself.
I think that loneliness and fear of arelationship hasalot to do withhalf hearted dieting.
