If you feel Mirtazapine is causing weight gain it would be better to consult and change to an antidepressant that is weight neutral.For a woman's body to be back to it's previous self it takes almost two years.It is not advisable to discontinue medication when you are going through stressful period. If you wish to consult, you can reach out on eight five nine zero six eight two zero six six.

If symptoms worsen after discontinuing medication, try doing a slower taper. Or your treating doctor can recommend other safe medication, that you can take for postpartum depression.
