I am bulimic so why have I been prescribed mirtazapine when it's a huge trigger with weight gain. Surely I should have been given something else . I am now too scared to take them

The decision to use a specific treatment regimen is made by the doctor based on m.in the patient's current condition.
If you think that the use of Mirtazapine is inappropriate in your case, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. You can also take advantage of teleconsultations, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

It is also worth taking advantage of the help of a psychologist, e.g. in the form of individual or group meetings.
Any medication you use can cause side effects. With preparations with mirtazapine, m.in, increased appetite, weight gain, diarrhoea and vomiting are observed. This does not mean that every patient will experience them. We wrote about whether to be afraid of side effects in the article:
