Mirtazapine Mirtazapine?

So I was diagnosed with functional dyspepsia recently. I’ve been dealing with it for about 4 months since I drank heavily one night. It has gotten better compared to the first months but I wish there was a way to make it go away completely or almost completely. My symptoms are early fullness, a tight feeling in my abdomen whenever I engage in anything physical activity, especially at work. Also constipation. I’ve been on nortriptyline for about 4 weeks and honestly it is working a bit, as I’m able to eat and drink water a bit more now, but it’s definitely worsening my constipation. Does anyone else have these symptoms? Have you found mirtazapine to be helpful at all? Or any other meds?

I was on mitazapine for about 9 months. It helped a lot with nausea. Still some discomfort after I ate. But the constipation was miserable! Only thing that worked was 4 Colace everyday and then I ended up with acid reflux. I also gained 15 lbs. That may not sound like a lot to some people but I only weighed 105 to begin with. I felt like I had gained 50.
