My mother is not eating much and he doctors has suggested Mirtazappine. She hasn't taken it yet but I was wondering what kind of success anyone has had with this drug for appetite and if they did take it was there any side effects besides getting an appetite.
Imo They do need to take it consistently at a set time. If they cannot do “medication management” on their own, you need to do it or hire a caregiver to do oversight on this. If they yo-yo on taking it, can be weird. My mom kinda went OCD & super fretting.
I can't say whether it has helped with her appetite. She has lost weight since moving to AL, but I think that is more that she isn't excited about the food there compared to the delicious meals she used to cook herself.
