  1. Mirtazapine - Anabolic/Androgenic?

    I I really struggled with 5mg Lexapro and I'm not sure I could have slept on it, I'll ask my GP about Trazodone. Thanks for advice it's been very helpful :-)

  2. Mirtazapine - Anabolic/Androgenic?

    Im not sure what Country you are in, but Im in Australia? Ive found a few of the SSRI are not available here for some reason. Ive tried Zoloft and Duloxotine and Lexapro. I get nausea, insomnia, loss of appetite and a bit of mania. I also have issues with ectopic beats, so don't like to mess...

  3. Mirtazapine - Anabolic/Androgenic?

    I am 49 but its been going on for 10yrs, Ive been able to go without an anti depressant for a few years, but I need one quite desperately now, just don't want to go down the hair loss road again :( would try other drugs but SSRI drugs make me too edgy

  4. Mirtazapine - Anabolic/Androgenic?

    It kind of makes sense. Remeron increases 5a reductase, which is responsible for hair loss. I have tried going and off it over the course of 10yrs and everytime my hair falls out, it starts within 2 weeks. Any suggestions of another drug that works like Remeron but doesn't interfere with 5a...

  5. Mirtazapine - Anabolic/Androgenic?

Testosterone and DHT are the two primary androgens in your body. Testosterone develops muscle and testicular tissue...

  7. Mirtazapine - Anabolic/Androgenic?

    Its so interesting !! I may be female but its definitely having an impact on my hormones, another thing Mirtazapine (Remeron) does is make me slightly aggressive. I wish I could work it out, I love the drug so am trying to find another drug with a similar profile but without whatever is...

  8. Mirtazapine - Anabolic/Androgenic?

    Hi all I was reading a very old forum post on this (2013) and I wanted to rehash it because I am interested in knowing more about this drug and there seemed to be a few people with some good knowledge on here. Without going into great detail what I am trying to work out is what role...

  9. Mirtazapine - anabolic/androgenic...?

    I know this post is VERY old but I want to rehash it. I am female and every time the docs put me on Mirtazapine I suffer hair loss (rare side effect) Can you smart people please explain to me why this would be happening? Is it affecting testosterone?
